Journal #2: Directions
1. Using the list below to guide you, write at least two pages in response to this question: In There There, Tommy Orange uses different characters to move the novel along. Why do you think Orange structures his novel this way? Explore the importance of this structure.
2. Your journal should be a minimum of one page, double-spaced. Follow MLA formatting guidelines (header, page number, title).
3. While I want you to follow MLA guidelines for basic formatting, I have different ideas about how to cite sources in a journal. I do not expect a Works Cited page for journal entries, but I do expect that all sources you use be acknowledge clearly in some way within your writing wherever you paraphrase, summarize, or quote them; furthermore, I expect all direct quotes to be placed in quotation marks
Grading Guidelines
To receive full credit, your journal entry must be rooted in careful observation of the materials of the course, complete with specifics and analysis. As with discussion posts, I’m looking for substance and specificity. You should also adhere to MLA guidelines for basic formatting (see above) and to my guidelines for citing sources (see above). Finally, polish your writing before you turn it in.
Things to avoid (these will lower your grade)
vague entries that don’t clearly relate to what we have read, watched, or listened to
a lack of specifics from what we have read, watched, or listened to
a lack of analysis
uncited sources
sloppy writing
