Accordion Book Reflection Continue developing your accordion book cover as well as answer the following questions as your very first entry into you accordion book! Please remember that I will be reviewing your reflections based on the order I assign them, so keep your accordion book organized. Do not start this reflection in a random place in the middle of the book. Also, remember your reflections and responses to these questions may/should include include variations in text: words, images, symbols, etc.
Gathering Paint Chips: Accordion Book Your accordion book is a document that records your ideas, thoughts, and reflections from Issues and Ethics. You begin in September and add to it each month, finishing in May. Entries to the accordion book will be connected to topics and questions that we study and discuss in class. As with all the writing you encounter in Issues and Ethics, your accordion book should be thought-provoking, insightful, and descriptive in nature. However, this does not mean that it is done solely in the written form; it may include visuals, collages, symbols, etc. In short, the accordion book is a place to sift through your many thoughts about the world around you. Addie’s Example: This is an example from my Issues and Ethics Accordion Book. Before I began my reflection, I decided to add an image of a town fountain. It reminded me that many, many communities have been built throughout the ages around a town center. This center was a place to gather. This made me think of guilt. During certain times, the town center was quite literally a place to determine guilt and execute punishment, which was observed by all community members. However, the town center was also a place for market, celebration, communication. This in turn brings its own kind of guilt, internal guilt. The writing on the slant represents my initial thoughts about guilt. The writing that surrounds the page and text came after I read the article. The stars, arrows, and traditional left to right writing came after further reflecting upon guilt while developing this lesson plan. Reflection/Discussion
Reflect on the reading and discussion in your accordion book. You can reflect in anyway you choose; however, here are some questions you may consider:

Two Truths and a Lie: Record two truths you would be willing to share with the world via Facebook. Create one lie that might enhance your image on Facebook in a way you would like it enhanced. For example, I might write in my Facebook post that I love climbing Mt. Fiji this time of year when the cherry blossoms are in bloom!!!. Why is that a lie? I have never been to Japan, never climbed Mt. Fiji and don't actually know if the cherry blossoms are blooming right now, but I like thinking some day I could be that person on Facebook having crazy, cool adventures like climbing Mt. Fiji and visiting Japan when the cherry blossoms are blooming. Discussions: At Étude High, we participate in gatherings like Two Truths and a Lie all of the time, but today I threw in the Facebook component. How might social media like Facebook alter our ability to lie? Quick Jot
