UCSD Racism and Racial Issues Discussion
A journal assignment is neither a diary nor a polished written paper. Journal writing focuses on
connecting class activity with thoughts, emotions, and events in your everyday life. You do not need to
answer all the questions or answer the questions directly. Instead, use the questions as prompts to get
you thinking and writing a response about a topic related to race and racism. Approach the exercise with
the intention of being challenged.
