Last week you came up with three research questions in your issue proposal. Post the one research question you would most like to explore. Include five keywords that you could use to search for information on your question in the library database. Read the questions that your classmates developed, and respond with ideas for improving their topic or with keywords that they could use for their own search.

classmate question:

The topic I chose for my paper was child abuse.  The reason I wanted child abuse as my topic is to have people be aware of what is happening and try to prevent it from happening to other children.  My main question about the issue is what causes child abuse to occur?  The key words I would use are child abuse, child abuse causes, abuse in the home, preventing child abuse, and child protective services.

The Reading Response Journal will consist of 1000 word (maximum) informal responses to each of the current week’s readings. There is no specific prompt for the journal. It is also not a writing exercise that asks you to summarize the reading. Think of it as a space in which you reflect upon and think through what you’ve read–as a space in which you write about the questions, ideas, concerns, etc. raised for you in your reading of the text.
