Learning Journal
- Choose an image (photograph/cartoon) from one of the articles/books/chapters you have read on this course that has been meaningful to you. Write about it, with reference to your reading of one or more articles, explaining its particular relevance to you and what you are learning.
It is the main space in which you reflect critically on the readings, workshops and discussions you are undertaking as part of your learning. While it is not a formal essay, it is still important that you use it to engage with the course materials and themes; it should not be a ‘personal diary’ or a reflection of your life experiences with only a tenuous connection to the course readings. The journal entries should be based on:
- Essential readings you are carrying out for weekly workshops;
- Additional reading you choose to follow up (e.g. from Recommended or Extended Readings suggested in the Resource List, or in anthropology journals listed on the LEARN page;
- Activities and group work you undertake in the workshops;
- Discussions you have with other people (e.g. via the Discussion Boards) on the course about what you are learning/readings you enjoyed etc.
