Journal

Your Journal is going to be very important. It will be where you record what you are thinking, what you are doing, and how you are doing it. You will use the journal to reflect on your scholarly inquiry. Until we begin our webpages, where you will be writing and saving your journal entries, you should use a composition book or your notebook. You will transfer these entries when your webpage is ready.
