Some of you think that if you just put something on paper, that\u2019s going to work (it\u2019s not).\u00a0<strong>Here is your assignment for the week is as follows (the assignments are due by midnight Sunday, May 17).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You are going to start a new Google doc for the journal entries beginning with today\u2019s date (May 11). (All of the entries that we have done the past month will be stored on your Google drive, but you\u2019re going to start fresh with this one).<\/li><li>Click on the top left where it says\u00a0<strong>Untitled Document<\/strong>. Click on that one time and change it to \u201cLast Name First Name ID Journal Entries for the Week of May 11\u201d. (This is the only acceptable title. Anything else will not be accepted).<\/li><li>In the document itself, at the top left, where the cursor is (not in the header), you are going to type:\u00a011<strong>-5-2020 or 11 May 2020<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Press enter once.<\/li><li>You will begin your journal entry. Begin paragraphs with a tab, and then a capital letter. Use complete sentences, and proper punctuation. Don&#8217;t forget that you&#8217;re writing about your day, your thoughts, what you went through for the day. Make sure you provide details. I read them and make comments; I ask questions. If I think that you just threw words on paper just to get the assignment done, and didn&#8217;t think it through, the assignment is not complete. There is always something to write about. Even though our days are repetitive, there is always something that you can write about that makes it different from the day before.<\/li><li>CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND PROOFREAD YOUR WORK!!
