Journals for
Unusual Stories from Many Lands


We will use the stories from this book for pleasure reading, and also for vocabulary study. The journals you write will count 15% of your total course grade. You need to do at least one journal every week, but you may do more if you want to. If you do more, I will use the eight highest grades to calculate the average. We will do an example the first week.

JOURNAL ANSWERS

  • Do at least one journal every week. You must do at least 8 by the end of the term.
  • Answer the questions on the Journal handout. Keep the first one blank, amd make     photocopies of it to write your answers on.
  • Hand in your Journal answers on Thursday of every week, in a file folder.
  • Keep all of your old answers in the file folder. Hand those in with the new answers     every week.
  • VOCABULARY

  • Keep a list of your new vocabulary. Keep this list separate from your file. We will have     weekly quizzes on your vocabulary.
  • Make a vocabulary card for each new word. These cards will help you study for the     quizzes, and they will help you remember the new words.
  • Bring your vocabulary cards to class every day. I will ask one of you to share a word     with the rest of the class each day, at the beginning of class.
  • Each vocabulary card should have this information on it:
