Journals:
By writing daily in journals about things that interest you, your writing "fluency" and comfort with the writing process will increase. We often write in our journals in class to get "warmed up" for thinking about writing.
Although you can always choose your own topic, the instructor will usually have topics you can write about. The goal is to keep your pencil or pen on the paper for the entire time we are writing.
The number of minutes that you write in your class journal will increase over the next ten weeks. At the end of the quarter you may write as long as 15 minutes per sitting.
Whenever homework is not specified on your calendar, your job it to write a journal entry--to write as long as we have been writing in class.
Below are some lists of topics for you to consider.

Although the following "prompts" could be used for essays, too, you can use them for journal writing topics.
