Diary option
Name: _______________________________
This is best for the introspective student who wants to think about the
material and apply it to themselves and their own personal experiences.
Write at least one page (double spaced) for any seventeen of the eighteen
chapters in this template. Download this template, which has one page for each
chapter; fill in the page with your own ideas, comments, thoughts, and personal
experiences as if you were completing a personal diary on topics related to the class.
Grading is based on six points per chapter up to 100 points (17 chapters). If
it appears you thought about each topic, applied it to yourself, and wrote a complete
page (not 2/3 of a page) you receive full credit. Partial pages, or copying something
from the text receives no credit. You may write more than one page if you wish.
You may discuss personal experiences, questions based on the chapter or the class
“Discussion Questions”, personal attitudes, values, beliefs, why you have those
values, beliefs, fears, concerns, etc. You may also discuss the positives and negatives
of a situation, advantages and disadvantages, or compare and contrast various
positions or ideas. You do not need to reveal any personal information you do not
wish to. Your grade is not based on your values or experiences, but how much
serious thought you gave to these as related to the text material.
Additional ideas for discussion in your diary are:
1. Terms in the margins of your text.
2. Critical Thinking Questions in the margins of your text.
3. Main headings in each chapter.
4. “Let’s talk about it” boxes in your text.
5. “Sexual Health” boxes in your text.
6. Quotes from the author’s files.
7. Chapter summaries
8. Items from the class discussion postings
9. Items from the anonymous postings
Please use the established margins and 12 point type (as in this example).
Finally, post it in the drop box on or before the closing time and date indicated in the
course calendar at the end of the quarter. Do not post a partial diary, e.g. three
chapters unless that is your complete diary.
To put your work into the drop box, go to: Your class > Exams > Drop Box . Title
