Here's the list of today's questions to get us thinking about the relationship between journals/journaling, research, and you:
- What is "research"? What forms of research are you most familiar with? Which do you find yourself privileging the most/least, and why?
- What is "culture"? Describe it. Identify a few cultures and explain what makes them a culture.
- What cultures are you a member of? What makes that culture that culture?
- Why might someone (like a researcher) choose to use a journal over a laptop when studying a culture(s)?
- Human subjects and research:

Relating back to learning and "the self":
- How can a journal be used as a self-regulated learning tool? What can you learn? (Think: what have you learned through yours?)
- After 4-5 weeks of doing this, what do you think of your own personal journal thus far? What do you think you're doing particularly well?
- Where do you seem room for improvement? How would you like to step up your "journal game" for the second half of the course?
- Fill in the blank. "Y'know what? If I bring my journal everywhere with me, I could get some journaling done while/instead of __________________."
- ie, waiting for a friend at the bar!
- What are some potential ideas you're flirting with for your "journal transformation project"?
Looking ahead to next week, re: gratitude and happiness:
- Who/what are you grateful for? Why? In what way(s) has this person/thing made you happy?
