CM107 College Composition I

Unit 1 Journal

In Units 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, you will practice your informal writing skills by writing in a Journal. Your Journal assignments will not only give you more experience with writing, but they will also offer you an opportunity to write without the stress often associated with formal projects. Journals become a way to connect course concepts to personal experiences, a place to process how things are going for you in the course, and a way to de-stress.

As long as your response is on topic, on time, and at least a full paragraph, you will receive 10 points for each Journal submission.

Your Journal entries will only be read by your instructor, so think of them as being informal pieces of writing that are intended for you to express yourself and share ideas with your instructor who will provide you feedback on your Journal to encourage your growth as a writer.

Unit 1 Journal Prompt

In this Journal, please select and respond to one of the following points:

Share a successful writing experience you have had either at work, in another course, or in your personal life. This positive experience could be a letter you wrote, a poem, or something you wrote for work. What did you learn from this positive writing experience?

Share your plan for having a successful experience in this course. How will you manage your time?
