1. Use the first paragraph to provide background information: what were the cultures chosen? Who are the participants and why would they be informants for this assignment? [If you are using online sources, be sure to include all sources to avoid plagiarism charges]
2. Report your findings of the answers to questions/interviews in a systematic/structured way. Make sure that your arguments are easy to read. Feel free to compare and contrast the two cultures you interviewed (and/or add your own cultural view if it seems fit).
3. Provide your commentary/analysis if you found something interesting, unusual, or unexpected. [The more, the better.]
4. The journal should be a well-organized, 2-3-page, short essay (rather than casual, informal writing).
