In the journal you will write observations and reflections on your reading in Connecting California. Please focus on a few documents in each of the sections we are covering. When you mention a document you read, please put the title of the document in bold (or a few words from the title). Please be sure to read the introduction to each section so you will see how the documents relate to our overall understanding. You may also comment on parts of our main textbook that you see as related.

Examine each document critically, and consider how it adds to our understanding of the history we are studying. You may also write your own reflections on what you are learning, and perhaps relate you’re the material to other courses or experiences.

You can get about eight points when you write 4-5 high quality pages. (You will turn in the Journal three times.) Please double space. You may use any style, but please divide your writing into paragraphs so it is easy to read.
