a pre-start "assignment"

This is an assignment that you would actually make your lives easier if you took care of it this weekend instead of waiting until school begins. :-)

For this class, you will need a journal. I’ll explain what we will be doing with these in more detail, but they will be needed every single day, and you’ll be writing in them both in and out of class. I ask students to choose journals that they connect to in some way, not the first random thing that they happen to see in a store, and certainly not any kind of spiral-bound notebook.

Go to Barnes and Noble, Borders, Helander’s, or probably any book or stationery store, and select one that you like. The journal needs to be permanently bound, which usually means hard covered. It should not be something that will come apart during the year, nor something from which pages can be easily removed. It can be lined or unlined, small or large, in any style at all. I advise that you avoid the “comp book” style unless you are both

  • ready for me to tease you for being extremely lame and uncreative, and
  • ready to decorate the crap out of it and make it your own.

See you next week. Have a great last weekend!
