Reading Journal: Due on Nov 6th & Dec 18th

Write a 500- 800 word reading journal (typed, double-spaced, 12-point font, and 1” margins all around; refer to MLA format style; see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/675/01/) focusing on assigned reading for the previous month (assignment for Nov 6th to review readings till Week 4; Dec 18th to review readings between Week 7-10). Don’t be overly concerned with grammar (although spell-check will be helpful!), but do put a lot of thinking into your reading journals since they will be key to fruitful discussions in class and even your final paper.

Please submit the Journal in WORD document to the lecturer’s email address maran@lit.nagoya-u.ac.jp with the subject “READING EXPLICATION ESSAY I/II”. 
I'd send out confirmation email once your assignment is received. Late submission is not accepted unless emergency happens.

Format
Include the following information at the top of each assignment:




Your Name
Course Title
Submission Date
Reading Journal Essay # [you should write either 1 or 2 here; not just #!!!]
           
Title of article  (MLA format)












You should engage with ONE or TWO reading(s) as listed in our syllabus—one of which MUST be the required readings. You are expected to review, evaluate and even critique certain theoretical concepts (such as keywords proposed by scholars) and/or arguments (much detailed explanations); you should be able to present your own interpretation and viewpoints. (further relevant analysis of film shots/scenes/aesthetics/styles etc. will be welcomed but not a must).
