Journal Owner:______

Your grade will be determined by several factors.

1.Completion of each item

2.Accuracy, thoroughness of work

3.Following the format: complete sentences, questions within answers, page numbers, titles, etc.

4. Did you edit your work? You must show growth/ make corrections.

Please pay careful attention to the items listed below. For each item please write the page number that it can be found in your journal. You will then have a chance to explain to me why you deserve those points. You can not earn above a “C” for any assignment unless there is evidence that the work has been edited or added to based on more reflection. ADDED TO WORK: Did you reflect on the work discussed in class? Remember, everything discussed should be added to. How often did you add to your answers?
