Guidelines: Reading Journal

Write these reading responses in the voice you use with friends; people who share your values, and are interested in gender and communication but don’t know the information that is in your reading. Your response should show that you

1.) have read the text and can identify the important information;

2.)  understand at least three important concepts, events, or people from the text; and

3.) can explain the important information from the text using examples from your own experiences. 

Reading journal entries should be 300-400 words and are due twice weekly, on Thursdays & Mondays by 11:59 pm. It is advised you complete these responses before the discussion board activity. You can think of it as a warm-up to get you focused to engage with others.

To submit your journal entry,  go to the plus sign at the top of the site > type a title* and type the body of your post > choose the category “Reading Journal” on the right > publish.

*Please use the title format “Journal [Number]” for each entry.
