solved This reflection paper will focus on Professor Christine Whelan’s book
This reflection paper will focus on Professor Christine Whelan’s book The Big Picture. Your task is to work through the book, which combines readings and writing activities geared towards helping you better understand your purpose, and write a reflection on this experience.
Your reflection should have two parts:
Page One
A single spaced (Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins) reflection on your experience working through the book. For your reflection, imagine that you are trying to encourage a friend of yours to start thinking about their purpose in life. How would you talk about your experience with this book in trying to persuade them? You are asked to both reflect on your personal experiences, but also to draw from things we’ve learned or discussed in class to support your points. You might consider sharing your thoughts on things such as:
Which parts of the book made the greatest impact on you and why?
Which parts were the most challenging and why?
If you could add something to the book what would it be?
If you could change an activity from the book, which would you change and why?
Why thinking about purpose matters, and how this book helps you do that?
How does The Big Picture relate to other things we know about happiness?
Any other relevant questions/reflections you had.
Page Two
A completed Big Picture Movie Reel (big picture movie reels.pdf). These can be found in the back of the book starting on page 222, in addition to the electronic copy on Canvas. In order to successfully complete the reel, you will need to have worked through the book to make sure you understand each of the different elements and how they all work together. Don’t forget to pick a theme song and tagline for your movie too! You are welcome to fill out by hand and upload an image along with your reflection, or fill it out electronically.Â
