Identify main themes of the week (what topic are we studying?)
Review notes, lecture slides and readings for specific material that interests you, or stands out as important. This could be a quote, a concept, a case study discussed in class, or something that your classmates mentioned during discussion.
Consider the following questions:
Does the reading, lecture, or experience challenge you socially, culturally, or intellectually? If so, how?
What elements bothered you or caught your attention?
Has the reading, lecture, or experience changed your way of thinking?
Did it conflict with beliefs you held previously, and what evidence did it provide you with that changed your mind?
Does the reading, lecture, or experience leave you with any questions?
Were these questions ones you had previously or ones you recently developed?
Are there any important issues or concerns that were overlooked?
Could a certain fact or idea have dramatically changed your conclusions about the topic?
How do the issues or ideas brought up during the week align with past experiences or readings?
Do the ideas contradict or support each other?
