In preparation for this assignment, make notes of your reactions and thoughts during weeks 1 and 2 while engaging in your reading assignments, learning activities and discussions. Consider the following questions:
- What part of the reading or class discussion triggered such strong reactions in you?
- What kind of reactions did you experience (e.g., anger, sadness, tears, body shaking, etc.)?
- Where do you think the reaction was coming from?
- What is it about you, your family, or your life experiences that made you react in the way that you did?
- What are your typical behaviors and/or thoughts when you have such strong emotional/physical reactions?
- Where did you learn it from?
Prepare at least a 750-word journal entry in which you examine your reactions to and thoughts about the concepts and issues discussed this week. Your examination should include outside material (e.g., personal experiences, relevant movies, and current events) to demonstrate a deeper level of insight and awareness. This is an exercise in self-exploration and critical thinking meaning that it will be evaluated based on the depth of self-exploration and the degree of critical thinking, as well as on organization and adherence to rules on APA format, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
