Keywords Log: Record instances of your selected Keyword that you encounter. This log should be a place to record usages of your keyword throughout the semester, pose questions about your term, grapple with various meanings and definitions of your word, plan and outline your paper, and begin to analyze the usages that you discover in the course readings and discussions:

• Here, you should archive usages of your keyword throughout the semester, drawing on class readings and class discussion.
• You may record out-of-class encounters as well: video, music, conversations, day-to-day interactions, etc.
• Try to be as specific as possible. For written sources, record the specific title, author, page #, and, if possible, an exact quote where the word in being used. You should also make a couple notes about the context to help you later on. For video, songs, conversations, and so forth, try to note the date, setting, and provide some context.
• In addition to recording a usage, it is a good idea to provide some initial thoughts (questions, connections, insights) about this usage. By “usage,” I mean the specific way in which the word is being use in the examples you find.
• In your readings, you may find related terms – feel free to record these as well. For example, if your Keyword is ethics, you may wish to note instances in the reading where you encounter morality, values, or principles.
