Cultural Literacy Requirement
The Cultural Literacy Requirement for the Global Certificate will ask you to complete eight literary reviews. Four of those reviews must be books written by non-American authors and must relate to issues outside of the United States or struggles of non American cultures fitting into the United States. The second four literary reviews can also be books, or reviews of other global/cultural types of media such as foreign films, an international art exhibit or music exibition. You will need to create a review (write up or other type of review) to show your understanding and growth in global perspectives. Each review will be submitted to your Global Team Member and will be graded using the Literary Rubric. You must score a 3 or 4 on each review to fulfill this requirement.
