• After you have selected a reading and accessed it, critically read it and consider your notes from last week’s textbook reading.
  • You can either:
    • Print it out and critically read it by hand; then scan/photograph the reading and post that to turnitin.com as a PDF. 
    • Type your reading notes into a Word document and upload that document to turnitin.com.
  • Consider how the journal you selected adds to/clarifies or confuses your understanding of the topics. Include your own opinions and observations, but also focus on the main claim of each text and the evidence they supply to support it.
