Critical Reading Log (20%):
Choose two readings from the previous weeks that have already been discussed in class. The Critical Reading Log has two purposes.
Firstly, it is intended to help you keep a record of any reading in a systematic and structured format. Identify concepts and/or quotations from the reading that drew your attention and try to find connecting points between the two authors’ arguments. This will enable you to identify immediately the main points from articles without having to re-read them later.
Give your opinion. To what extent do you disagree/agree with the author’s arguments? Why? provide supporting evidence from history, media, film, fiction etc to support your claim.
You are required to submit your critical reading log on the assigned dates before class begins (please check the assignment schedule below for reference). The goal for this log assignment is for me to see that a) you have understood the readings correctly and b) that you are thinking seriously about the issues/questions raised within those readings. Submissions should be no more than 500 words (Double space, Times New Roman 12 font; include your name and the date in single space and then begin your response).. Late responses will lose half a point/per hour. Each is worth 5% and you will have four submissions in total.

The 2 works:
-Chapter 5: The Gulf, the Indian Ocean and the Arab World, by Fahad Ahmad Bishara and Patricia Risso in in Peterson, J.E. The Emergence of the Gulf States (2017)
– “The East African Slave Trade and the Making of the African Diaspora in Arabia” in Hopper, Matthew S. Slaves of One Master: Globalization and Slavery in Arabia in the Age of Empire, New Haven: Yale University Press, 2015.
I also provided an example of my previous reading log for you to have an idea of how I want it. (Political Sci Critical reading log 1)
Please try to make it between 400-500 words no more. If you have any question ask me.
