academic english journals

Directions

Dear English 203 Students,

Since this unit we are worked on the new media [facebook,. youtube, myspace] among other things, I thought we would make our reflective journal for the closure of unit 1, a blog.

I would like for you to write a reflective journal on one of the flollowing topics, publish your post on this blog, and then reply to someone else's blog posting. YOU SHOULD POST YOUR BLOG ENTRY ON THE DAY YOU SUBMIT YOUR PORTFOLIO, Monday, January 17. PLEASE PRINT OUT A COPY OF YOUR BLOG ENTRY AND INCLUDE IT IN YOUR PORTFOLIO.....

I will be posting an assignment description on Moodle shortly. Please read it before you submit / publish your blog entry.
You can upload your journal by clicking on post a comment.....

1. What are some of the problems you have encoutered this semester with your writing? What do you think you can do to resolve some of these problems? What are some of the successes? What can you do to replicate these successes?

OR

2. What are some useful language skills you have acquired or need to acquire for your major?  How do you plan to achieve those skills.

Evaluation Criteria:
Your journal will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
Does it truly signal reflection of your work?
Is it genuine?
Are there any insights?
Is it properly formatted?
Does it use proper style and tone?

Did you respond in a meaningful way to at least one of your classmates?
Does it reflect a genuine looking back and thinking.
