Journal Entries

 

Exploratory journals written in class or as homework assignments will deal with a reading assignment or class discussion topic. Specified journals must be posted to the class blog by their deadline. Journals should demonstrate the depth of students’ critical thinking process; they might tell stories or use images, audio or video to illustrate ideas; construct critiques or synthesize ideas; and/or explore tensions that are not easily resolved. Other approaches are possible. Journals will be read by others and shared in class regularly; in fact all class writing is considered public writing, so students should be sure to consider topics and content that they are comfortable sharing with others.
