WRITING

Journals

Journals are an integral part of this class and for that

reason a significant grade. Entries will contain one-page responses to prompts, and other activities.  Good journal work usually leads to good grades.  Journals are kept in the classroom, however, they may go home at any time.  No soft cover, spiral bound, or ones with perforated pages will be accepted.   Journals may be done in pen or pencil.  Absences do not excuse you from journal entries; it is your responsibility to make up any missed journal assignments.  Unless otherwise directed, you may make up missed entries with free writes.

 

Additional Writing Focuses:

  • Argumentative

  • Informative/Explanatory

  • Narrative

  • Literary Analysis
