Write Your Journal Entry (50 points)
The surest way to improve your writing skills is to write. Twice this semester, you will
write a 1,000-word journal entry about any topic that interests you.
There’s a catch, however. Unlike in most journals, you must write formally and
professionally. Although you don’t need to worry about creating a claim or organizing
your thoughts into paragraphs, you must pay attention to the writing itself and apply
what you have learned in the instruction.
In this particular journal, you will:
dentify correct use of parallel structure.
pply parallel structure to improve the flow of your writing.
Show that you understand parallel structure by using it at least three times in
your journal entry. At least one example of parallel structure in your entry
must use commonly paired conjunctions, such as not only / but also.
Highlight, underline, or otherwise point out to your instructor each example of
parallel structure in your entry.
Also look out for careless errors that are not necessarily related to the instruction,
such as typos. Your goal is to write as formally and professionally as possible. Your
instructor may deduct points if there is evidence that you did not proofread
adequately.
If you’re stumped about what to write, consider the following topics:
n account of your day, your summer, or your life
our opinion on a controversy facing the nation or your school
summary of a story, such as a movie or a TV episode you recently watched
nstructions on how to perform a task that you understand well
description of your plans for the future, such as your dream job
biography of someone you know personally
You are also free to write fiction and poetry, but keep in mind that your journal must
be formal and demonstrate your understanding of the concepts from the instruction.
Fiction and poetry often bend the rules of formal writing, so you may find the
requirements of this journal too restrictive for creative writing.
In the space below or in a separate document, write at least 1,000 words about any
topic that interests you. Pay close attention to your writing so that you fulfill the
specific requirements of this journal entry.
