Email Journal Assignment
This quarter you will be keeping a journal online. You will be required to make seven entries in the journal; each entry isworth 20 points. I will give you a prompt and you will have one week to write a
200 word
response. All entries must bemade by 2:00 p.m. on the date they are due. (See deadlines below.)
HERE’S THE CATCH! All journal entries MUST BE MADE VIA EMAIL. You will type your response to eachweek’s prompt in the body of an email (no attachments) and send it toclassjournal@gmail.com
The subject of the email must contain the number of the prompt you are responding to and your name as follows:If you do not presently have an email account, you must get one. You may sign up for an email account atwww.gmail.com, www.yahoo.com, or www.hotmail.com. (All of these provide free email accounts that you can accessfrom anywhere in the world.)Additionally, I will not accept “But I don’t have a computer at home” as an excuse for not participating in this assignment.There are computers all over school, including my classroom, and at the local public libraries that are available for youruse. It is your responsibility to make time to get this done once a week.
