•Response (worth up to 8 points): In the response section, you will respond to the instructor’s topical prompts or questions. The goal is to back up your ideas and thoughts with supporting evidence from the readings, videos or other learning resources (e.g., outside references). See my questions below and let me know if you have questions. Instructor Questions:Premise: In the linked article below, Ura & Cameron (2019, January), identify how the Texas Legislature “remains mostly white and male” despite the diversity of our population. If you are interested in reviewing population data, review the census data here https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/TX/PST045218 (Links to an external site.)https://apps.texastribune.org/features/2019/texas-lawmakers-legislature-demographics/?_ga=2.260792777.598792103.1551989235-1200265243.15467030041.Identify which one or two demographic characteristics you find to be the most impactful on Texans, if underrepresented in the legislature. Be sure to provide a brief explanation with understandable rationale. 2.Can a Texas legislator still represent their constituents effectively if they do not come from similar demographical backgrounds? Why or Why not?•Reflection (worth up to 6 points): I suggest jotting down some key “takeaways” or reflective thoughts you have about what you read and experienced in learning about the Texas Legislature, The Legislative Process, and The Executive Branch . The goal is NOT to recall facts or information from the chapter, but instead to reflect on what you think about what you are learning. Please compose a reflection describing your three lessons learned from this module.•Connection (worth up to 4 points): Research has shown making connections with what one is learning is crucial to improving one’s meta cognition and improve learning gains. This part of the journal is to provide you a chance to connect one thing you learned to your own personal experiences (i.e., past, present or imagined future life). Identify one thing you learned and connect or relate it to your everyday life.•Questions (worth up to 2 points): What sparked your curiosity? What questions remain unanswered or do you have new questions? In this section, you simply communicate something you would be interested in further exploring, develop and post one or two thoughtful, open-ended questions.
