Your next (first, actually) Journal Check is on Sept. 26. What’s in your “Journal”? Anything and everything you have written for, or in, class thus far — Do Nows, descriptions of objects, any vocabulary words/exercises, personal handwritten short essays, personal descriptions, literary “constraint” exercises (no “the” or “a”) plus any handouts you have received. You put them all in one place so that the teacher can see them easily. A binder, and in some cases, a spiral notebook with folders will do.
