Reading Journal Introduction

Open book with 5 pages folded and tucked back into the spine to make a fan shape You’ll be putting the reading skills you’re encountering in this module to immediate use, by keeping a Reading Journal as you progress.

Assignment Details

Look for the Try It pages along the way to help you complete the Reading Journal. The Try It activities will walk you through the completion of the finished product, by working on each component individually.

Worked Example

Journal entry assignments tend to be more flexible than other types of writing assignments in college, and as a result they can be tailored to your own experiences as long as they answer the primary questions asked in the assignment.
