Goals and Purposes:

• To ensure that students are keeping up with the reading and engaging with the material and the ideas presented in the course.
• To maintain a record of student development over the course of the semester. This record will not only provide a sense of consistent issues in student writing, but also of where the class has been in terms of content and ideas.
• To help students prepare for the final project, which will involve revising these journal entries as part of a larger, written response to the course's content.

These are prompts that worked for my students of E314: Women’s Popular Genres
Papers were 5-7 pages.
We had an eclectic group of texts: Pride and Prejudice, Aurora Leigh, Bridget Jones' Diary, A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains, Eat Pray Love, and Reading Lolita in Tehran.
I let them interpret the prompts in their own way, but they had individual conferences with me first to discuss their ideas.

The goal of these 1.5-2 page reports is to bring contextual depth to class discussions of individual authors and their works. By having different students doing different reports, students will bring multiple perspectives to class discussion as well. The reports focus on different kinds of resources available to students of literature in order to help them become familiar with them.
