Writing Process Journal


Writing Process Journal (Due 09/05)

While reading "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau on a separate piece of paper, write down your difficulties, insights, and quotes that connect to the work you have already done in this class.  

Your separate piece of paper, as you can see from the above description, will be split into three parts.

Difficulties: Here you will describe parts of the text you didn’t understand or struggled with. Think about why it is difficult to understand and how you can grapple with it.

Insights: Briefly write down a description of what struck you and then go into what this section made you think about. It is better if you write for as long as you can about a moment that really interested you.

For example: Thoreau talks about planks on page (00). It made me think about how selfish we are because we often refuse to give each other a helping hand …

Quotes: We have been talking a lot about disobedience, passion, and education in the class. By now, you have developed a focus your mind tends to follow. Write down quotes that relate to that focus. It will be a real help when you start assembling your paper. Also, write down quotes you find powerful.


Worth: 15 points


BRING YOUR JOURNAL TO CLASS THURSDAY (09/05)
