Your 1 page journal entry should be a personal reflection on whatever interested you the most in the material assigned this week. Explain how the readings/films/class discussions, etc. challenged you, inspired you, frustrated you, intrigued you, motivated you, etc. etc. You might consider addressing how the content made you reconsider a preconceived idea or thought; how the content motivated you to live or treat others differently; how the content frustrated you or made you uncomfortable; how the content contradicted or confirmed your own experiences; how the content connects to prior material in the course or content in your other classes; how you see the content connecting to politics, your religion, your family, your community (college or elsewhere), the media you consume, etc. Ultimately, the journal entries are a chance for you to demonstrate knowledge of the that week’s material while also applying it to personal interests, experiences, etc. (Occasionally I will provide a more specific prompt or series of questions to answer—so, make sure you always check on Canvas before beginning each journal—but, I am leaving today’s prompt relatively open-ended and giving you the opportunity to craft your own focus!)
