The journal writing taskThis is a featured page

1. You will submit a learning journal that documents your processes of inquiry and research. The journal should also demonstrate your analysis and personal reflection on the knowledge and understanding gained during your research and creative work.

2. After listening to all the students’ presentations you will write a reflection statement of 150-200 words in your journal. It should explore how these presentations have further enhanced your own understanding of how texts are valued in and appropriated into a range of contexts. You will need to refer specifically to other students’ work and what you have heard in the presentations.


The draft Rubric

The journal writing task - EX1104 Term 3 Journals


Notes

  1. The journal needs to show evidence of an evolving and deepening engagement with the three texts. There should therefore be entries from your first contact with the texts (during the coming holidays) right through to Week 7.
  2. Your journal should show your developing personal and intellectual connections to the three texts through regular references to specific parts of the texts, including quotes where appropriate.
  3. Your journal should show a developing ability to analyse, evaluate and comment on the distinctive qualities of the three texts, in particular structure and unifying ideas, and should reflect on whether these distinctive qualities help explain any enduring (cross-cultural, cross-temporal) qualities the texts might have.
  4. There must be evidence in your journals and/or reflection statement that your own personal understanding/interpretation of the texts has been tested out (but has not been simply based on) the perspectives of others: teachers, students, critics.
  5. Your journal & reflection statement need to be printed out to be handed in on Sept 3rd. (However some of you may like to do the ongoing writing in a Learning Plan on Studywiz (direct contact with your teacher), a blog (where feedback can be given by many) or a wiki (where a number of you could have pages for your Journals, which you would regularly read and comment on).
