Questions to prompt reflections about your reading

You might want to use the following questions to prompt your reflection or develop your own. Some specific questions will be added as we discuss material for each module.

• What does the article or resource present or imply about violence and learning? How do these views relate to your views? To other views expressed in the course so far?
• Was there a practice, perspective, or position articulated in the article that particularly engaged or resonated with you? Why?
• Was there a practice, perspective, or position articulated in the article that you found yourself resisting? Why were you resistant?
• Have your views shifted through reading this article? How?
• How might you apply an idea from this article to your practice?

Exploring Learning Critical (Non-Fiction): Reading and Writing

For each module we also invite you to carry out some systematic observation of practice or procedures in your program and then reflect on what you see. You may choose to observe practices in another sort of program, such as a women's shelter or a counselling service, and reflect on whether there is anything you might use in your work.

There will be specific questions to draw your attention to particular themes in each module. The Traveler's Guide also includes suggestions about observations.
