Personal response to the video (500 words): Choose a quotation from this week’s video that impacted you in some way. Begin a journal entry with that quotation and write at least 500 words about your reaction to the quotation and the larger video. Consider the following questions about the video: What did you learn? What made you think in a new way about your life? What parts were especially motivating or scary or enlightening or surprising or disagreeable? In what way might you utilize something from the video in your own writing? What about the video did you like or dislike? (You don’t have to answer all these questions in the journal entry, but they should help get you started on a response.)
