You are expected to keep a journal, writing two entries each Module. Your three entries should be written as follows:

1. Chapter 14: Entry one will consist of a response to “ self-reflection” questions posed in Chapter 14 of the textbook – Reflect & Relate: An Introduction to Interpersonal Communication.

Please label the entry with the entire box of questions you are considering.

2. Chapter 13: A second entry should respond to the journal prompt posted by your instructor. These prompts ask you to reflect on a particular aspect of the topic under study for the module. Please label the entry with the journal prompt.
