Good Afternoon Everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I apologize for not sending a reminder text for the journal entries to be due by Sunday. Hopefully you remembered to get them in on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend and Eid Al Fitr. While we didn’t celebrate the way we normally do, it still was a great weekend to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is again a short week (4 days, due to Memorial Day). You will only be doing journal entries for Tuesday through Friday. This week’s journal entries will be due by Sunday night as usual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    JOURNAL ENTRIES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of you are doing a great job following the directions given for your journal entries each week. Some of you think that if you just put something on paper, that\u2019s going to work (it\u2019s not).\u00a0Here is your assignment for the week is as follows (the assignments are due by midnight Sunday, May 31).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. You are going to start a new Google doc for the journal entries beginning with today\u2019s date (May 26). (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>
    2. Click on the top left where it says\u00a0Untitled Document<\/strong>. Click on that one time and change it to \u201cLast Name First Name ID Journal Entries for the Week of May 26\u201d. (This is the only acceptable title. Anything else will not be accepted).<\/li>
    3. In the document itself, at the top left, where the cursor is (not in the header), you are going to type:\u00a026-5-2020 or 26 May 2020<\/strong>.<\/li>
    4. Press enter once.<\/li>
    5. You will begin your journal entry. Begin paragraphs with a tab, and then a capital letter. Use complete sentences, and proper punctuation. Don\u2019t forget that you\u2019re 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\u2019t 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>
    6. CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND PROOFREAD YOUR WORK!! (Tools menu \u2013 Spelling & Grammar \u2013 Spelling and Grammar Check)<\/li>
    7. Put your name and ID number in the footer on the left side (Insert menu- Headers & Footers \u2013 Footer).<\/li>
    8. Highlight the date.<\/li>
    9. Click on Format menu \u2013 Paragraph Styles \u2013 Heading 1 \u2013 Apply \u2018Heading 1\u2019<\/li>
    10. Click at the end of your entry (after the last word\/punctuation mark). Press enter once. Click on Insert menu \u2013 Break \u2013 Page Break.<\/li>
    11. Your new page will be the entry for the next day (27-5-2020).<\/li>
    12. Start with step 3 for each of the journal entries for the week. You just don\u2019t need to do the footer after the first day because it will be included on each page for the week.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      You will do this for each journal entry. By midnight Sunday, you will be submitting a 5 page document (each page is a journal entry for the week). You will be graded on all of these numbered items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      IF YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES<\/strong>, you can use any of the following topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • You can write about what you did all day. Tell me, in detail, what your day was like, from the time that you woke up until the time you went to bed. Include all details. If you ate breakfast, for example, tell me what you ate, if you prepared it, did you wash the dishes afterwards, etc.<\/li>
      • You can write about your feelings throughout the day.<\/li>
      • Describe your favorite things about yourself. What makes you unique? <\/li>
      • Do you think students should receive grades for school work done at home since attending actual school has been canceled? Why or why not?<\/li>
      • Make a goal in the morning and reflect back on it at night. Write about whether you accomplished the goal, and if so, what helped you. If you didn\u2019t accomplish your goal, what kept you from doing so. Reflect on what you could do differently next time.<\/li>
      • Write about a time when you thought a situation was worse than it really was.<\/li>
      • Is it easier to learn online or in the classroom? Write to support your position and why the other side isn\u2019t easier.<\/li>
      • Who faces more pressure: boys or girls? Explain both sides.<\/li>
      • What is the worst chore to have? Why?<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
