[IMPORTANT] reading journals
Reading Journal: Due dates May 16th/June 13th
/July 11th.
Write a 300-word reading journal (typed,
double-spaced, 12-point font, and 1” margins all around) focusing on assigned
reading for the previous month (assignment for May 16th to review
readings till Week 5; June 13th to review readings between Week 6-9).
Don’t be overly concerned with grammar (although spell-check will be helpful!; yet
indeed careless grammatical mistakes tell me how careless you are for your own
works too), 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 to the lecturer’s email address maran@lit.nagoya-u.ac.jp with the subject “READING Journal 1/2/3”. I’d
send out confirmation email once your assignment is received. Late submission
is NOT accepted unless emergency happens. All assignments are preferably submitted to the
teacher in Word Doc (if you haven’t installed it, PDF is fine), via email. The Word file should contain “NCC” and
the STUDENT’S NAME in its file name. Preferred style is Chicago Manual of Style/CMS.
Please self-study the CMS.
Format
Include the following
information at the top of each assignment:

You should engage with
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.
