The classroom will offer you a community in which you can try out your ideas and insights in a larger group. Journal entries must be typewritten. I encourage you to use a word processor. Check the lab for open hours. While you are welcome to write more than a page, hand in only one page.
Journals are due at the beginning of class.
You will have twenty entries, or two per class period, assigned during the semester. Writing in the journal may be informal. I want you to feel at ease to explore your ideas and feelings rather than write polished, edited prose. Focus your energies, then, on ideas and content instead of grammar and mechanics. I suggest that you use freewriting whenever appropriate.
