Assignment: Weekly Journal Entry
The objective of this Assignment is to provide you with a private place to think on the page; "thinking on the page" is a phrase used to describe writing as a form of thinking. Some of us process our thoughts out loud as we describe them to others. In an academic environment, you will be asked to record your ideas in writing or "thinking on the page" to show the new knowledge that you've acquired through reading and listening to the resources and completing the assignments. The journal is not a formal type of writing and only you and your Instructor will see the journal entry.
The journals will be used to develop a personalized academic writing plan that will fit into the Personal Success Plan Assignment.
Each journal must be at least three paragraphs long, but you are allowed to write as much as you would like. These entries are meant to be free writing, but you should revise before submitting. Your journal entries will be graded on participation and do not have rubrics.
To prepare for writing your journal entry:
• Read the Montante article in this week's Learning Resources
• Review the Academic Writing Expectations Checklist to guide your writing
• Review sample journal entries posted in an Announcement.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
