CHE 329 Module Three Journal Guidelines and Rubric

In this course, the journal will be used for reflection. Journal activities in this course are private between you and the instructor. Review this tutorial for information on creating a Blackboard journal entry.

Overview: In the Module Two discussion, you broadly analyzed the role of the various stakeholders in the aging network. In the small group workshop, you looked specifically at the Older Americans Act (OAA). For this journal task, due in Module Three, you will reflect on stakeholders specific to the OAA.

Prompt: Read Chapters 4 and 5 of your text, The Aging Networks: A Guide to Programs and Services, and review the website of the National Council on Aging (NCOA): Older Americans Act. Also, reflect on the discussion in Module Two on the interconnectedness of the aging network and its stakeholders, as well as the small group workshop on the OAA. In a 2- to 3-paragraph journal entry, address the following:

● Stakeholders: Who are the stakeholders of the OAA? Explain your thinking. ● Self as Stakeholder: Discuss how you might be or might not be (individually) a stakeholder of the OAA. Explain your thinking. ● Benefits and Challenges: Consider your own life course and trajectory toward retirement and older age: What are the benefits (and challenges) to being

seen as a stakeholder of the OAA with regard to your current point in life?

Guidelines for Submission: Cite from the text readings, the NCOA website, and the other course resources to support your responses. Submit journal assignment as a Word document.
