Hi Pegster,
There are instructions for the journal on page 11 in your study guide. The journal consists of 18 entries that you will submit at 3 points during the course. For each submission, you'll send 6 entries.
The entries themselves are in your study guide and correspond to the reading assignments (see page 13 in your guide for the list of assignments). For example, when you're reading about drafting, there's an entry about drafting. You will need to complete the reading assignments in order to find and to complete your journal successfully.
Once you've finished entries 1-6, you'll submit them as the exam entitled Journal 1. Journal 2 should be submitted after the completion of entry 12, and Journal 3 after the completion of entry 18. It is extremely important that you complete the journal entries in order and in concert with the reading assignments. They are designed to help you learn and to practice your writing skills before you write your formal essays.
Sincerely,
Christina Elvidge
Senior English Instructor
