For example:If you were discussing a newspaper article, you would respond to the key points and link them to your perspective of the topic you have chosen. If you were responding to a painting or a photo, you would discuss the use of colour, shapes, symbols and how it provides a representation for your Social Justice topicDO NOT simply ‘summarise’ the source in your own words. The key is to use it as a prompt for your refection. The language should be ‘personal’ given that it is a reflection. You need to really think deeply about what your response to the issue is.
