Each week, you will post a reading journal that responds to the week’s reading and viewing assignments. This journal should engage with the reading, not just summarize it. 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.
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
