I have used different versions of this exercise. The one below is designed to have students illustrate an idea that comes from the course reading in a way that mimics the process of organizing research. Another way I used this exercise, and probably more successfully, was as a beginning of the semester ice-breaker. In that version, students brought in objects that reflected something about them and then in teams the students constructed collages literally made of experiences and objects meaningful to them. In both cases, the reflective writing assignments were similar.
