At the start of each class, you will spend 5 minutes writing in your composition notebook in response to the discussion prompt on the board. We will then share our thought, ideas

and feelings on the prompt in a respectful discussion.

These journal entries will count for your participation grade for the class. I will check your journal every Friday, and you will receive a grade based on completion.

Make up entries: I will post the prompts on my website daily. If you are absent it is your responsibility to find the prompt and complete the journal entry.

Over the course of the semester, you will be responsible for preparing 2 discussion

may not need to do so.
