Journal One: Identifying Conflicts From Other Sources
About Journals
What is a journal?
A journal is traditionally considered a personal reflective writing that is informal in nature. However, an academic journal for your college course is more than that. It is a way to practice formal academic writing, which pays close attention to spelling, grammar, and stylistics. It has a controlling thought that is explored and supported with appropriate sources. While the purpose of this journal is to have you thoughtfully respond to specific prompts and connect your learning to the assigned readings, it is not meant to be a demonstration of perfect APA style. However, you should follow general APA formatting and style guidelines (include your name, double space your paper, and reference your sources).

How do I write a journal entry in ENG125?
In Weeks One, Two, and Four of this course, you are required to write a journal entry. Each journal prompt will provide specific information regarding what you need to respond to such as assigned readings, how conflict is intertwined into literature, and how certain literary techniques enhance and draw out certain conflicts. The instructions for each journal assignment are formatted using bulleted lists to help you organize your responses. The minimum word count for this assignment is 250 words, and you are expected to use APA style in setting up the document.

Why will I write journal entries in ENG125?
The purpose of a journal entry in this class is to help you explore the relationship between conflict and how it is developed in different literary genres. Also, the goal is to develop your ideas about conflict, genre, and literary techniques through the next five weeks and build these ideas into your Week Five Literary Analysis. This activity will help you write a more effective and detailed literary analysis since you will have reflected on conflict and its representation in literature early and often in the course.

How will my journal entry be assessed?
The instructor will review your journal entry to ensure that you have answered each bulleted point and incorporated the appropriate materials into your assignment. APA format and citations will play a minor role in the evaluation of this journal entry, as will grammar and stylistics. For more details on how your journal entry will be assessed, please review the rubric for this assignment located below.

Journal One: Identifying Conflicts From Other Sources
For your first journal entry, you are required to explore the different types of conflict that are found not only in literature, but in everyday life. Be sure to read each type of conflict thoroughly to get a firm understanding of them since you will be analyzing these conflicts throughout the next five weeks.

In your journal

Describe where you see each of the five conflicts in everyday life (e.g., in social media, music, literature, or online learning). How does conflict appear in two or three of the various venues mentioned above?
Identify what types of conflict you saw in one of this week’s reading assignments.
Give specific examples as support for each conflict you identified.
Explain why these conflicts are important and how they create meaning. What meaning(s) do they create?
When submitting your journal entry, make sure to

Proofread your work for errors in grammar, mechanics, and style.
Format the journal entry according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Refer to the Ashford Writing Center’s Sample APA Title Page for guidelines on formatting a title page in APA style.
Provide (to the best of your ability) a reference for the text you used, including in-text citations and references listed at the end of the journal entry. Refer to the Ashford Writing Center’s Comprehensive APA Reference List Models and Citation and Reference Guide for guidelines on in text citations in APA style.
Provide a reference for the text you used. Refer to the Ashford Writing Center’s Citation and Reference Guide for guidelines on citing sources in APA style.
Perform a word count check to make sure the journal entry is 250 to 500 words in length.
Save the document as a Microsoft Word or compatible .doc or .docx file.
Use a naming convention that includes your last name, week number, and the journal number (e.g., Smith_W2.doc).

In this class, you have three tutoring services available: Paper Review, Live Chat, and Tutor E-mail. Click on the Writing Center (AWC) tab in the left-navigation menu to learn more about these tutoring options and how to get help with your writing.

Late Policy: Written assignments (essays, journals, presentations) are due on the specified days in the course. Written assignments will be subject to a late penalty of up to 10% per day up to three days late. If written assignments are submitted after 72 hours past the due date, instructors can give a penalty up to and including a grade of 0 for the assignment.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Ashford 2: – Week 1 – Discussion 1
Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Why Read Literature?

Chapter 1 of our text provides a number of reasons why people choose to explore literature. Clugston (2014) writes that there is “a powerful curiosity about human relationships and how to cope in the world in which we find ourselves” (section 1.1, “Connecting: Entering Into a Literary Experience,” para. 2). The text gives a number of general motivations for reading, but it is helpful to put those motivations into context. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length, not including references.

In your post, answer the following questions:

What does literature offer an individual?
How has the importance of reading changed from earlier eras (pre-digital/audio/visual media) to our present day? Do you think we read differently now than we did in prior generations?
Do you think Clugston’s quote is valid? How have perceptions regarding the value of literature changed, if at all?
What causes people’s perceptions regarding the value of literature to change?
As you consider these questions and begin writing, incorporate readings found in Chapters 1-3 to help illustrate the points you make.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial posts. Each response should be at least 75 words in length and address two or more of the following points:

Do you agree with your classmates’ perspectives? Why, or why not? Be specific.
Ask a specific question to encourage further discussion on the topic.
Challenge your classmates’ interpretation of literature and/or point of view.
Do a small amount of research and share what you learn with your peers about the topic discussed in this post.

Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Writing About Literature

As we explored in the “Why Read Literature?” discussion, literature can provide us with a multitude of perspectives, ideas, and experiences. Additionally, there is a long tradition of critical reading and writing about literature (i.e., analyzing literature to seek a deeper understanding about various interests and concerns). Chapter 2 focuses on these ideas. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. The minimum word count does not include references.

In your post, answer the following questions:

Why might a writer feel compelled to write about literature? How does it benefit us personally and/or professionally?
What kind of writing and thinking skills do you hope that you will develop in this course based on the description of writing about literature in sections 1.1, 2.1 and 2.3 of the text?
As you consider these questions and begin answering them, incorporate readings found in Chapters 1-3 to help illustrate the points you make.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial posts. Each response should be at least 75 words in length and should address two or more of the following points:

Do you agree with your classmates’ perspectives? Why, or why not? Be specific.
Ask a specific question to encourage further discussion on the topic.
Challenge your classmates’ interpretation of literature and/or point of view.
Do a small amount of research and share what you learn with your peers about the topic discussed in this post.
