reflective journal style essay

1. The Teaching Girls Bravery video was assigned for you to watch the first week of class.  If you need to review it please go back to module 1.

The assignment Is to write a reflective journal style essay.  In this essay you need to write a minimum of 800 words following elementary English grammar, punctuation and organization style you should be comfortable with in the university.  The journal style is unique in that you take what we have been reading/discussing and you relate the material to person life experience.  The goal is to enhance learning through reflection.  The concepts that we are discussing in the course are ones that we readily see in our daily life and can be very personal.  There is no right or wrong answers that you can writing in your journal.  I am looking to see if you understood the basic issues we are addressing and that you are able to relate the issue to your own experience.

If you have completed the assigned journal entry in a sincere manner, you will receive full credit for the assignment. That credit will be lessened only if your entries are unacceptably brief or intentionally do not address the topic. The journal rewards effort and participation. It provides an opportunity to succeed no matter where you are starting from if you sincerely dedicate yourself.

Journal entries are used as tools for student reflection. By consciously thinking about and comparing issues, life experiences, and course readings, students are better able to understand links between theory and practice and to generate justifiable, well-supported opinions. This kind of writing assignment is meant to be interactive, as students engage with ideas and experiences that bring about questions, comparisons, insights, criticisms, speculations, and tentative conclusions.

For today’s assignment please discuss what was significant about the video we are watching on “Teaching Girls Bravery”
