Formatting: Double-spaced with one-inch margins and 12 pt. Times New Roman font.
Length: Each preparation must be a minimum of 300 and a maximum of 500 words. You may include the question you are answering in your document if you wish, but this does not count toward your 300-500 words.
Course Materials: You must explicitly incorporate course materials. Use at least two quotes or paraphrase an aspect of the reading that you are analyzing. (If it is a video, give two specific examples from the video in your answering of the Journal Prompt.) With texts, give me the page number(s) of your quotes in parenthesis. There is no need for a formal works cited page for these assignments.
Grammar/Spelling: Proofread your Journals before submitting them. Repeated grammar and spelling mistakes will cost you points.
All Journals that follow the above guidelines and THOROUGHLY answer all aspects of the Journal Prompt will receive full credit.
