Journal+Procedures

Daily Journal Procedures:

1) ** You need your journal every day **, so feel free to leave it in the portfolio crate if you are worried about forgetting it. 2) Complete all warm-up free writes in your journal. **Use the entire five-ten minutes I give you to write**. If you run out of steam on the given topic, write about something else, or add to a former topic. When I grade these free writes, I am looking to see that you put time into writing, and **one or two sentences does not cut it**. 3) Any notes we take, or any work we do in class (vocabulary, grammar, reading response), should be in this journal. 6) I will grade your journals every two-three weeks or so, and anything we do in class is free game for grading. Use the class website to make sure you have all the necessary components.
 * 4) **** Please date all entries with an appropriate heading/title so I know what you’re writing about. Ex: WU: Shakespeare Vocab **
 * 5) ** Excused absences: You are responsible for all written work we do in class. Ask me, ask your classmates, or check the website for the topics we wrote about on the day you missed. Please include the date you write the make-up, //and the date you were absent//. **It is your responsibility to make-up work, and if you are missing work, it will lower your journal grade.**


 * Thank you for your work! **
