Du Bois chapter 4

/in /by

WEEKLY RESPONSE JOURNAL: Every week you are expected to write four pages,
at least 1000 words, of reflections and thoughts about the reading for the week. I will
provide reading questions each week to help guide these reflections, but whether you
stick to mine or develop your own is up to you. The purpose of these reflections is
first to help prepare for the class discussion; second, to work through the text, open it
up and; third, to connect it to larger questions you have about American politics,
particularly contemporary ones. One expectation is that you cite from the readings
each week and that you develop questions or problems in the text that youd like to
develop further in class. A second, expectation is that you bring in, either directly
connected to the reading or not, an issue of contemporary politics that you have been
thinking about that week. These responses should be uploaded no later than 10pm the
night before class on Blackboard, as I would like to have read them before we meet. I
will discuss this in class, but this journal is to be taken seriously as it comprises the
majority of your grade. PLEASE READ THE UPLOADED FILE FROM INTRODUCTION THROUGH TO CHAPTER 4 TO MAKE THE SUBMISSION.

So the “journal” is two-three entries for each reading in my class for this semester.
this includes:
William Shakespeare, King Lear (England) signet edition
Wole Soyinka, Ak (Nigeria)
Eunice Lipton, Alias Olympia (United States)
Paule Marshall, Chosen Place, Timeless People (Caribbean)
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (England)

we are currently on Chosen Place.
each work needs two-three entries on it and it would be great if the writer could begin writing the entries and i could also provide notes that my professor has given on each reading. the whole “journal” is due on the last day of class.

below are the instructions on the journal given by the professor

Topics for the Journal are open. The entries are not rough notes, but complete short pieces of writing. The complete journal should not exceed a total of 3,000 words.

The format for the journal consists of two or three entries for each work. The entries will consist of your observations, commentaries and assessments of the works. You can include connections to the present time and among the various works of the semester. Do not include plot summary. If you like, you can present an entry of overview of questions or considerations that arise from a particular reading.
