Two Reading Logs – 2 pages each
These logs will give you the opportunity to reflect on readings, practice theorizing, and give me a sense of
where we’re all at with the material. Reading logs should not be summaries. Rather, you should directly engage
with the material by providing your own analytical take. Synthesizing concepts and frameworks across readings
may be a particularly fruitful approach that can help you also brainstorm for your midterm and final papers.
Some prompts to help you get started. Please don’t try to answer all of them at once! You don’t have to use
these questions necessarily – they’re just some ideas that can get your brain noodling!
What kinds of connections can you make between the reading and other material we’ve covered?
How can you apply a concept from the reading to a current event?
Are there moments in your own life that mirror the concepts we’ve explored through the readings? How did it
manifest? How did it make you feel? And how does it make you feel and think now having read the article/book
that mirrors your experience?
How might concepts and readings discussed in this class connect to others you have encountered in your
educational career?
What kinds of questions came up for you as you read the article/book? What do you think potential answers
could be? Why do you think these questions came up for you?
How can you challenge the arguments being made in the readings?
Using these questions, please write 2 reading logs(Response paper #1 and #2, 2 pages each). I attach some
of the reading material. Thank you so much 🙂
