Built upon what you have in Fieldnotes Taking,
Write ONE reflective essay of about 500-1000 words, which should use ONE or TWO key concepts from the class readings to describe, compare and analyze relevant aspects of the TWO religious communities / events you visit.
You should refer specifically to your experiences and activities in the field visit, which you may, if you wish, supplement with additional information on the religion from other sources. Your essay should conclude with personal reflections.

💡 Tips: Before writing the essay, consider the following:
</aside>
- Try to ask yourself what are the most impressive moments and experiences during your field trips? Describe them. (pls assume the readers know nothing about the field trips)
- What are the implications of these experiences? What connections and linkages can we draw among these experiences? Compare them.
- What are some of the key concepts that we learn in the class that can help us understand the experiences and the comparison? Analyse them.
- What further questions and reflections do you still have in mind? Critically engage them.
- Write down the ideas for the above questions and structure them in an integrative way.
