Reading Journal for ACC: Due on Oct 31st/Nov 28th/Jan 9th
Write a 200-300 word reading journal (typed, double-spaced, 12-point font, and 1” margins all around; refer to Chicago Manual of Style format style; see http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html; Google for more; an easier version could be found here) focusing on assigned reading for the previous month (assignment for Oct 31th to review readings till Week 4; Nov 28th to review readings till Week 8; Jan 9th for readings since Week 9). 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 to the lecturer’s email address maran@nagoya-u.jp with the subject “ACC READING JOURNAL I/II/III”. I prefer Word Doc (if you haven’t installed Microsoft, PDF is fine). The Word file should contain “ACC”+ the student’s name in its file name. Preferred style is Chicago Manual of Style. Please self-study the CMS (handout distributed in the Introduction). I’d send out confirmation email once your assignment is received. Late submission is not accepted unless emergency happens.
Format

You should engage with the reading(s) as listed in our syllabus—one of which MUST be one of the required readings. You are expected to review, evaluate and even critique one or several RELATED theoretical concepts (such as keywords; concepts proposed by scholars) and/or arguments (much detailed explanations); no need to survey ALL readings covered. Instead of simply paraphrasing and repeating the authors’ ideas, you should be able to present your own interpretation and viewpoints. (further relevant analysis of film shots/scenes/aesthetics/styles etc. will be fine but not a must).
