Journal Entry Guidelines

Expectations
  • Never use your full name, always post as: first name, last initial.
  • All journal entries should be done as responses to the newest journal prompt on this site.
  • The length of your journal entry should be enough to ensure that your response answers the prompt.
  • Recommendation: type your entry in a program such as Word, save it, then copy and paste to this blog. This will provide a backup copy should anything go wrong.
  • Use this format effectively. Link to images, articles, videos, etc. online to highlight your points.
  • Respond to at least two or three of your classmates' comments.
  • Include your name in your response to get full credit

  • 10% Citations: Did you list your resources (create links as well) for the content of your journal?
  • 10% Expectations: Did you follow the expectation guidelines?
  • 10% Effort: Is the effort in your work equal to or above what I consider average? Did you use the provided resources? Did you do more than expected?
