Your Name Title Journal entries are due at the beginning of class and should generally be around 250 words each. You should submit your journal to rhale@monm.edu via e-mail AS MICROSOFT WORD ATTACHMENT with the subject header Journal # (fill in the number after the number sign). You should also bring a hard copy of the journal to class. We will often use journals as a springboard to our class discussions, and occasionally I will ask you to submit your journal entry to the class public folder so classmates can review your comments and even respond to them online. Make sure to save electronic copies of your entries. When I grade the journals, I consider how well you answered the question or responded to the text or convocation, how well you supported your response with evidence and explanation, and how clearly you wrote the response. I will often ask you to develop your own journal topic into an essay.
