1. Provide a brief summary of the reading(s)

· What is the historical context of the reading? (When was it written? What was happening, in the lives of Black women during this time? -generally speaking)

2. Identification of problem or issue:

· What problem is the author identifying? Who does the problem relate to?

· For whom is this topic important and why?

· What relevant evidence or examples does the author give to support their  justification?

3. Personal thoughts on the reading.

· What did you like/appreciate about the readings?

· What would you have liked to have more of/less of in the reading?

· Was there anything that you need/want clarification on, in regards to what you read?

4. Making connections to the course learning/materials.

· How is what you read reading different from what I already know? Why might this difference exist?

· What new ideas are here for you to consider? 

· How does this reading connect to the course and/or provide a better understanding of the course topic?
