After you finish reading either Geoff Childs Tibetan Diary write a full 5-page book review on it by following this structure:
An opening statement introducing the main theme of the book, be sure to tie in with the final point below. This is a topic- or theme-based introduction related to how you understand and interpret the books purpose. Be sure to address at least one of the ways in which the book instructs/entertains/dissuades (choose one or create your own rhetorical purpose) the reader, in religious literacy, cultural competency, or creates sympathy for the authors cause (choose one or create your own).
Write at least three paragraphs including detailed evidence and citations from the beginning, middle and end of the book. Citations should be quoted passages that serve to support the theme addressed in the opening statement. The citations should follow a recognized in-text citation method. Each paragraph needs to have a clear topic sentence and should serve as evidence for your interpretative reading of the book.
Add at least one and no more than three paragraphs that provide additional evidence or contrary points. This can be questioning the category such as, the concept of religion or culture or emic/etic perspectives, or race, or it can be about analyzing the limits of how events are remembered. In either case, this additional evidence is found outside of the text in other class readings or in the Encyclopedia of Religion.
Conclusion: Tie up your essay and zoom out to the big picture, detail how the passages you highlighted from the book show how this work changed your previous conceptions of religion.
