Journals 1, 2, 3

General Assignment Directions:

· Create your assignment in a word document, double spaced with a cover page or heading.

· Identify, by specific name, each video that you are summarizing. (Do not write video 1 as the reader will not know which video you are referring to).

· Your paper must include a single Reference section at the end of your document and corresponding citation/s in the body of your paper.

· Use appropriate paragraph structure.  Do not write the entire journal in a single paragraph. 

· Be sure to include information on how each video relates to the Weekly Readings/Lesson Material.  You must identify specific reading/lesson content and include citations and full reference at the end of your paper . 

Please complete each video journal at the end of the assigned week and do not wait until the week the submission is due. This will allow you ample time to view the video, process the information and respond to the questions posed as the end of each video week.
