Writing a journal entry

• Read the Montante article in this week’s Learning Resources
• Review the Academic Writing Expectations Checklist to guide your writing
• Review sample journal entries posted in an Announcement.

Assignment Instructions:
Think about the material you encountered in the course this week, and describe one aspect of the classroom resources (Assignments, Discussions, or assigned readings) that surprised you. Make sure to describe why the material interested you as a thinker.
Set a timer (on the stove, a clock or on your phone) and write for 10 minutes without stopping. The prompts will remain the same each week, but you will reflect about a different aspect of each week’s resources.

By Day 7

• Observe. Describe the week’s content and resources to a person who has not seen/heard or observed it.
• Process. Answer the question: “What does this content/topic mean?”
• Reflect. Answer the question: “What is the value in understanding this?”
