In order to improve as writers, we must write often. Once each week I will post a writing prompt that you must respond to. These prompts will sometimes have to do with topics we discussed in class, and sometimes not. Your journal entries can be as formal or informal as you like, the goal is to get comfortable with writing and to write freely. Your entries should be 250-350 words.

Your participation grade takes into account your engagement in the class–your participation in discussions, in group activities, and especially in peer review.
