Using information you can gather from the document itself, as well as from other sections of Wiesner and from Hunt write short answers to each of the following questions. Each journal entry will therefore include five short answers and four short paragraphs. I will grade the journals in the following manner. A semester s journal is worth 100 points. If I deem some entries particularly good they will receive an extra point.
Extra points are very hard to get.
Entries handed in late will be downgraded one point. If you are missing entries you lose 3 points. Since 11 entries are assigned and only 10 required you may do an extra entry to make up for past deficits. Your journals will help the class material to having meaning for you, become more focused, and ultimately more fun. You will be doing history that is creating your own written account of the past rather than simply taking a history class.
