CUNY Brooklyn College The Engagement of Youths in Anti Racism Discussion

I’m working on a writing question and need guidance to help me learn.

For the reading you should address the following points:

In 2 or 3 sentences, describe what you think the central point, claim, or thesis of the reading is.

Hints for identifying a reading’s thesis:

What question does this reading attempt to answer? Hint: the day’s topic might help you situate the reading.

In journal articles authors might signal their thesis with terms like: “I/we argue…” or “I/we find…”

In another 2 or 3 sentences, describe how this reading impacted your understanding of children and youth studies and the phenomena presented

For example, how did the reading affirm or refute your own or commonly held beliefs, alter your thinking, create uncomfortable moments, surprise you, prompt you to discuss the topic with other people, remind you of something, etc.?

In 2-3 sentences, identify sentences or an area that (1) you were puzzled by, (2) areas that you would like to learn more about, or (3) questions that you think the authors could have asked. This area can concern the topic and/or research method used to study the topic.

This should be concise (about 9 sentences for each article), and must include answers to the questions above.
