Journals 1 and 2

A Reminder about Journals

I will collect your journals next Tuesday. This is the last day I can get them before the report card so you better get them into me. If you don't, there will be a big old "0" where that mark should go. I will give you the 3rd entry on Friday. For today, a quick reminder what the first two journals are about:


1. Journal 1 - First 1/3 of the novel

-What do you think of the book so far? Are you enjoying it? Why or why not?
-What's your reaction to the first person style? Is it interesting? Distracting? WHy?
-Where do you predict the story will go?

2. Journal 2 - Autism/Aspergers Videos

-What new things did you learn about Autism and Aspergers?
-What similarities do you find between the kids in the movie and Christopher?
-Did you find any bias/slant/omissions in either of the films?
