The Journal--Let Me Make Myself Perfectly Clear

On OCTOBER 26 (a change from the 25th), I will collect your "writing journal." In a folder, I want you to include PRINTED COPIES of all the journal writings assigned. You must still turn in PRINTED COPIES of your writings, even if you've already posted some of them on the blog. You might want to indicate journal responses that were formerly posted on the blog, since blog responses (200 words/25 lines) might NOT be 1 to 1 1/2 pages in length (the recommended length for a non-blog journal writing). You will NOT lose credit if you indicate that your "short" response was originally a blog post. If this is all too confusing, then make sure all of your responses constitute at least a page of double-spaced writing.

Here are the journal assignments:

1. Favorite work of art (just print out what you posted on the blog, NOT your final essay)
2. Conceit
3. Falwell-Robertson summary and response
4. Be Like Ben response

Then complete any TWO of the following three:
5. Spirit Week response
6. Be Careful Where You Show Your Face
7. The American Dream

You should hand in a total of six writings, one to 1 1/2 pages long, double spaced typed. Place in a folder on which you mark your name and section color.

You will be graded MOSTLY on content, but poor writing that interferes with my understanding of your ideas will lower your grade.
