Reading Log (RL): Description
Each week, students are required to reflect on one chapter of the textbook (and/or article) by completing a weekly Reading Log (RL), available on Canvas. Each RL is worth 10 points. In order to ensure you keep up with and reflect on the week’s readings, your RL should include a brief summary of the chapter, and at least one term/concept and quote, as well as one key takeaway, and a brief reflection on one case study -at the end of each chapter-If the Chapter doesn’t include a case study, write” N/A” .
Use the following headings/subheadings:
Chapter Summary: In no more than a paragraph (2to 3 sentences), write your thoughts and a summary of the week’s reading.
Quote & Term: Select one quote and one term to post, and write a brief comment that explains your selection. Make sure to put page numbers after the quotes/terms – (Nieto & Bode, 2018, p.#)
Term:
Write the term, define it (you may paraphrase, based on your textbook), then explain your selection in one sentence.
Quote:
Write the quote, then explain your selection in one sentence.
Chapter Takeaway: Discuss ONE NEW thing you’ve learned from this Chapter that helped you better understand the concept of Multicultural Education. Be sure to incorporate relevant concepts from the week’s reading.
Case Study: The authors of this book used themes that emerged from interviews with students and teachers to emphasize conditions that may affect learning for different students. Reading these case studies and thinking about them in the context of teaching will enable you to learn about diverse students and understand the impact of cultural factors on students’ learning, and how cultural and linguistic differences may affect students’ performance.
In no more than a paragraph, briefly describe and reflect on the case study, at the end of this chapter.
Which ONE issue/concept did you find most intriguing in this case study? Why? You are encouraged to use the questions provided after the case studies to guide your thinking.
Use in-text citations, e.g., you may say: In this chapter, Nieto and Bode (2018, p.#) present a case stay (describe in 1-2 sentences). It clearly explains the concept, which was discussed in chapter xxxxx.
If the Chapter doesn’t include a case study, write” N/A”
References: Any sources of information that are referred to in your discussion should be referenced according to APA. For example:
References
Nieto, S., &Bode, P. (2018). Affirming diversity: The sociopolitical context of multicultural education. Boston, Massachusetts: Pearson Education, Inc.
Reminders
Regarding your RL, you need to divide your response into paragraphs for easier reading. Answer each question separately and use the question as the heading for each answer.
Be sure to incorporate relevant concepts from the week’s reading. Cite references from your readings to support your ideas/thoughts/ responses.
You need to make your point of view clear and provide detailed post. It is not a convincing discussion to simply say things like: “I agree” / “I disagree” or ” I like” without explanation.
Feedback from my Professor on my last Reading Log. Please follow this way using APA version 7 with citation and in text citation.
Based on the instructions and what was discussed in class, you should first define the term and write the quote using your textbook and then explain your selection in one sentence (with in-text citation)
