The reading log assignment requires you to select two articles and then connect them. For example, if these two articles are about patriarchal society, then the theme of your entire reading log can be about patriarchal society. Then you can introduce what your first article is about, where it reflects your theme, and then what new perspectives it gives you, or what thoughts it triggers. You can support your point of view by giving examples from your life. Then the second article also the same way. Finally, just summarize the two articles and your views. Then the word count is 500 words. You can check Canvas for specific requirements. write down how you understand it and how you relate it to yourself or your life. Write a reflection based on these two articles.
Your critical reading log submission should be 500 words that address 2 course readings from the course syllabus. It is designed to help you keep a record of any reading in a systematic and structured format. You may choose from any reading before week 7
The goal for this log assignment is for me to see that
a) you have understood the readings correctly and
b) that you are thinking seriously about the issues/questions raised within those readings.
Connections to events, media, and real-life examples are welcome and encouraged! Reflect on your positionality and lived experience as you write this piece. Submissions should be no more than 500 words in total (Double space, Times New Roman 12 font; include your name and the date in single space and then begin your response).
