Audience: You and Me – that’s it!
Purpose: To cultivate the habit of writing. I’d like you to explore your own mind, to reflect as a writer, thinker and student and make connections about what you are learning and pondering in your own life.
Prompt: make time to sit down and write for approximately 15+ minutes (writing efficiency and thinking, of course, varies greatly).You can consider this to be a diary, a freewrite, a rant, a letter to me, a brain drain, a crafted personal narrative, or the terrible drudgery of busy work (I recommend any perspective except the last).Use this time to dig deep and use the medium of writing to explore self, world, conflict and/or environment.
Source: There will be an “assigned” prompt each week; sometimes I encourage you to respond in writing to the photograph, the quote, OR one of the stated prompts – you should follow your inspiration, not try to answer every question on the prompt – depth over breadth. Sometimes I will ask an impromptu question that might connect to current events in or out of class to encourage you to respond to a philosophical concept. You may also diverge from this task and truly journal by writing what is on your mind – you do not need to stick to the prompt every week.
Length: around 500 words (quality over quantity)
Grading: I am looking for content and depth. Your writing does not to be perfect; that is the nature of journaling – it’s rough, raw and instinctual.I will read your journals promptly as you submit and occasionally give feedback, but this is an intellectual exercise designed for your growth and evaluated holistically.
Tips: You get out of this endeavor of writing what you put into it. You can use all the digital tools available including photos, links and more.While the journal is private, do pay attention to standard writing conventions (punctuation, paragraphs etc.). As the course progresses, one way to improve your journals is to experiment with writing craft techniques, creativity and rhetorical appeals we’ve explored in class.

It is firstly necessary to understand why resistance, as a concept, is so necessary to Elizabeth’s writings. The Oxford English Dictionary notes the religious etymology of ‘resistance’. For example, in the Bible, resisting temptations and facing difficulties are presented as virtuous, as the chapter of James states, ‘Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial’. However, in Early Modern England ‘resistance’ can be viewed from a different angle. To ‘resist’ temptation would be virtuous of a woman, but a resistance of the patriarchal norms established by a privileged-male system would be an outrage:
‘We must make a conscious effort to understand the thinking of and about women in a period when women (as a whole) were forced by political and familial circumstances into life-styles over which they exerted no control.’
Indeed, resistance against an established system was neither easy, nor advisable for a respectable reputation in a turbulent court scene. This was not merely a sociological construct – the Puritan teachings of the Church was the religious backing necessary for the demeaning of women . As John Knox, the founder of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland claimed, ‘for the man is to heade the woman […] as Christ is the heade of the churche, so is man of the woman’. This biblically established hierarchy epitomises the renaissance attitude to a woman’s social positioning.
The main methods of resistance in Elizabeth’s early epigrams are lit
