Journal
Word length: 1,200 words (+ 10% on upper limit — means don’t go mad, but at the same time don’t stress if your word length goes even bigger! It is good to be brief, especially when describing a rite.)
The journal comprises two components that may be written separately or BETTER woven together:
- A short discussion on one of the set weekly readings on ritual.
- A short description of an event or practice based on your observation or invention (i.e., your design).
The journal is designed to enhance your observational (ethnographic) skills while at the same time demonstrating your overall grasp of the key themes of the unit.
