After reading the first section in Module 1: U.S. Feminisms: A Brief History and Current Conversations, post Journal discussing this information.    This journal should engage with the readings and video, not just summarize them. You may begin with your gut reactions, i.e. why you liked or disliked the reading, but you should also consider why you feel this way. The journal is a good place to draw connections between texts, raise questions, and initiate discussions with your classmates. (See requirements below.)
Requirements:

Journals should:

– Directly reference at least three different readings/videos.
– Utilize/explore/question at least two key terms
– Pose questions for the class to consider
– Make connections (between course materials and life, current events, other classes, past readings, the questions and observations of classmates)
– Not repeat what others have already discussed
– Be a minimum of 300 words.

Grading: Journals will be graded on a scale of 1 to 15. To earn the full 15 points, your journal should demonstrate that you have read and thought seriously about the material. Journals that fall short of the length requirement, rely heavily on summary and include little analysis, or miss important concepts in the reading will earn fewer points. I will drop your lowest journal grade at the end of the semester.
