RESPONSE JOURNAL
Requirement
1. Each week you will type a minimum of one full looseleaf page that will
do the following:
a) Take a question from the end of one of the readings we are doing for the week and answer it in detail.
b) For all of the other readings, pose a question that you believe is significant
for that reading and answer it as best you can. It is more important here to
come up with an intelligent question than with a "right" answer. In fact,
the best questions may have no or multiple answers.
c) If you still have room on the pages you are doing, then record your thoughts on anything you feel is significant in the reading or in the characterization, the setting, the narratorial voice, etc.
FORMAT
Put a date on each entry and indicate which stories or play it is responding
to. Do not be overly concerned with correct or polished writing structure. I
want
you to focus on your thinking process rather than on a finished product. Your
response journal is the place to analyze, explore, argue, or question.
