Week 10 Assignments
-
Each week, I will ask you to do four things:
-
1/ Post an entry in your Learning Journal. Entries in your Learning Journal (LJ) will most often be focused on Free Writing or Structured Free Writing, which is Free Writing in response to a specific topic, prompt, or question. I will give you a weekly LJ assignment. Please post entries in your LJ HERE. This is a private journal that only you and your instructor can access.
-
2/ Complete one or more Group Assignments (GA), which will require that you contribute either a BLOG POST and/or to our course Discussion Board. These posts and discussions will be read by our entire class.
-
3/ Complete one to two Reading and Writing Assignments (RWA), which, unless otherwise specified, you will submit as a separate entry/entries in your Learning Journal HERE.
-
4/ Check in at least THREE separate times a week and respond at least ONCE to contributions by other student blog posts on the Home page of our course Web site AND to forums on the course Discussion Board
