General Journal Requirements:
Journals must be a minimum of 350 words, and you must reply to at least 2 peers. There is no word limit on peer replies, but you must show that you have engaged with your peers’ responses and not simply said “I agree” or “Great post!” A substantial reply could be anywhere between 50 and 150 words. You are not required, but you are encouraged to continue replying to one another throughout the week. Let’s have some great conversations! Failure to meet the word limit will result in a reduced journal grade.
Ad Hominem attacks will not be tolerated. If you disagree with someone, attack the argument, not the person.
For every journal, you must include a summary and analysis of all the texts that you read for the week. Failure to summarize/analyze will result in half credit (or less) for the journal.
The prompt (this is separate from the summary/analysis) is a guideline, and will usually be open-ended (i.e. not a question with a right or wrong answer. If you have something else you want to write about, or some argument you want to propose that does not address the prompt, do it! I want you to explore your own thoughts and feelings and ideas along with the texts and the subject matter in order to improve your critical reading, writing, and thinking skills.
Journal #3 Prompt: In addition to the summary/analysis of our reading, watch the TEDx talk below, and consider the argument that Elizabeth Chapin is making. Summarize her argument, and then give us your opinion. Do you agree with Elizabeth, or disagree? Why? What experience do you have with fantasy? Movies, books, video games? Do you believe that Fantasy can help us in the real world? Why or why not? Try to take notes when watching the video so that you can respond critically, and thoroughly to her argument.
