Red Scarf Girl Journals - Guidelines for Completion
- Be sure to back up your reflections with specific evidence and references to the text. INCLUDE page numbers where you find evidence in the book.
EACH entry number needs to be a minimum of 1-2 paragraphs (as appropriate based on the question), which are 5-8 sentences in length.
KEEP your entries SHORT and to the point while answering the question. You should not be spending hours on journaling - hold yourself to a 20 min. or less time period after you complete the reading.
Use the topic --> elaboration ---> evidence/support (TEES) approach to paragraph writing when responding to something that requires back-up/support.
- Be sure to use complete sentences, proper grammar, and spelling, as these will be graded.
