Reflect on an environmental issue that you heard or saw in a news report. You can use the following four points in your journal entry:
Description - What was the news story? Did it concern a situation or event close to you or one that you had experience with?
Analysis - What did you learn from the news story? Was it informative? Was the story a balanced treatment of the topic, or did it tell the story from only one perspective? Did it change your opinion about the topic?
Benefits - How did you benefit from the news story?
Demonstration of learning - How can you show what you learned from this experience?
A journal entry is a 300-400 word personal reflection on the topic under discussion. A journal is visible only to the student and the professor.
