Journals:
You will keep electronic journals this semester on the class blog. Every day
you will have a writing prompt or a homework prompt or some sort of journaling
assignment. In addition you will be asked to comment on another person's journaling
at least once a week. This is an essential part of your grade so do not ignore
it. There should be no excuse for a blank journal.
Reflections:
For each paper you will write a reflective/analytical essay which describes
your writing process for the particular project. At the end of the semester
a large scale reflective essay will either introduce or conclude your portfolio.
I will not grade any incomplete Units so do not neglect your reflective analysis.
An example of a reflection can be found here.
