Structural Racism & White Supremacy: An Overdue Awaking

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to introduce students to collaborative learning via CANVAS discussions and self-reflective writing and critical thinking via reading logs. Logs must be as critical assessment of both the reading material and the videos required for that section.

The logs are to be completed with your thoughts on the readings; structure your comments around your personal and professional reflections on the material while including lessons learned from your textbook. Logs are confidential, and no one will read the comments except your professor. Be sure to consider the ways that the readings resonate with your experience and the ways the readings challenge you to think beyond your experience.

These logs may be useful to you as you develop your Critical Reflection Assignment and Cultural Competence Plan. While you are not required to write a log for every week’s reading, you are encouraged to write logs on the week’s readings you find most challenging in light of your own life experiences.

Logs should be the maximum of two pages. No citations or references are required. The logs must be typed, 12’ font, one-inch margins.
