The Journal's purpose is to 1) get you to read; 2) learn how to summarize and/or paraphrase (critical skills
for ENG 102/Research); 3) get you writing (and therefore thinking) about what you read.
Requirements: 1. Each
entry should be about a page and a half, minimum. 2. Include all bibliographic information about the source--titles, authors,
dates, etc. 3. Must make direct reference to material in source, but journal is not just a retelling of article.
The journal needs to include your insight, your reactions, etc. Nothing earth-shattering, perhaps, but it must be there. 5.
15 total journal entries for the semester.
