Journal Responses:
You will keep a
journal for the next sixteen weeks, in which you respond thoughtfully to online
or print media articles, videos or podcasts. Each response must contain five
complete sentences, one of these sentences must contain a legitimate thesis. I
will check journals every five weeks during the semester. You are responsible
for completing FOUR journal responses per week.
You may create a
blog and do your journal writing there. The same criteria apply, but you must
inform me early in the semester of your intention to begin a blog and give me
the URL no later than the end of the fourth meeting of our class.
