READING OUTLINES
A comprehensive and well-designed Reading Outline must be posted on your individual class blog the day the reading is due at the beginning of class.
This date will also be the day the Reading Quiz will be given in class.
A Reading Outline is a documentation of your reading content and experience.
It may be a written conclusion in paragraph form, or more typically, a hierarchical outlined summary in complete sentences.
Here are two examples of a Reading Outline from previous design classes:
Reading outlines from the Graphic Design: A New History chapters however, should be more robust with content, and quite possibly two pages.
