We will have a five-minute journal writing assignment every day in 
class. You should be able to write at least half a page in five 
minutes.If you are absent, check the journal topic and write for 
five minutes. At the end of the nine weeks, I will be checking your 
journal. If you are missing even one journal, you will receive an F 
as your journal grade. Five minutes can mean the difference between 
an A and an F. Aren't you worth the five minutes it takes to make up 
a journal?
