Week 08 - Journals and Homework

We will be focusing on how to interact effectively with our texts this week. Plan to spend your time in class reading and thinking about responses; each night you will be writing out your responses, and each day you will have to choose a couple responses to expand upon in your journal. With a little effort, we should be able to make this a nearly automatic process that takes almost no effort on your part, but that helps to vastly improve your understanding of anything that you read.
