Journal Assignments for Grammar 099 Online

Over the next fifteen weeks, you will be required to type Journal entries. To quote your book: “because writing is a skill, it makes sense that the more you practice writing, the better you will write” (16).

You will use a technique called “freewriting” to complete these entries, which means you will type on your topic for ten minutes using a timer (use the timer on your cell phone). You do not worry about spelling or punctuating correctly, about organizing material, or about finding exact words. You simply type without stopping for ten minutes. Mistakes do not count, but I will be checking to make sure you have at least a half a page, typed, and double-spaced.

You will be given the opportunity to write in your journal many times over the course of the semester. You will receive 10 points per journal entry. The 10 points will strictly be a participation grade. I will not edit or check for anything other than completion; however, I will leave comments if you do not write enough or have the correct format. I will assign the prompt you will write about, and you will have that week to complete the entry.

At the end of the semester, you will choose one of your best entries to edit into a final drafts.

My Summer Plans

This summer, I plan on going to Grand Isle, Louisiana to go fishing with my family. I love to fish! In Grand Isle, there are so many ways to fish. A person can wade in the water and fish while standing, or even go out on a boat to fish in deep waters. In Grand Isle, we usually cook what we catch, so the food is always so fresh. My family owns a little bit of land that we built a cabin on, and we go down every summer. We also go swimming every day. The beach is surprisingly similar to Florida. But not as packed. When we go to Grand Isle, we have to pack so much. We pack everything but the kitchen sink! The cabin has some essentials, but not all. Usually, my sisters come to Grand Isle, as well. We love to all get together and spend family time because during the year, it is hard to get together because we are all so busy.

***This is a perfect example of a typical journal entry. The grammar and punctuation is not completely correct, but the ideas are there. This is also a typical length of a typed, ten minute timed writing.
