1 (An Introduction to Cultural Studies)

(1) A well-reasoned point of agreement with the assigned reading; (2) A well-reasoned point of disagreement with the assigned reading; (3) A point of confusion with the assigned reading (or a question you have of the reading); (4) A point of connection with a previous reading from class (FOR THIS 5 POINTS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO NUMBER 4 BECAUSE THERE IS NO PREVIOUS READING); and (5) A question for potential discussion during class.
