The idea and information for what to write in you this journals:

·                   ·       Pick out several quotes that are significant. Summarize them and explain how they are significant     in the wider work and/or our theme

·             Investigate the author’s background and connect it to the reading.

·             Take an opposing position on the reading

·              Discuss how the reading applies or does not apply to things happening today

·           Discuss how you can relate to it

·            Ask questions, pinpointing areas that you’re confused about

·            Write a brief story that illustrates something in the reading

·              Imitate the writer’s style in your response (using satire if you like)

·            Pick a passage and analyze something you found interesting in it
