Here are some questions to focus your writing in the journal—these are suggestions:

1. What is the source’s thesis?

2. What evidence is used to illustrate and support that thesis?

3. Who seems to be the target audience? (describe the reader –his thinking—the author is trying     to influence)

4. In what ways can you relate to this source?  Don’t be dismissive.  Assume there IS some    connection between your experience and the experience/ideas in the source.  If you cannot    see anything you can relate to, write about why that might be.

5. What questions does the source raise?

6. What struck you most about reading/viewing this source?
