• As you read the chapters and readings in our texts, you are to highlight the main ideas and annotate responses, reactions, questions, etc, and then write journal entries. To respond, you may select from the suggestions below, all of which are designed to help you reflect on the ways you react to the reading. Your entries should be typed, and each should be at least one double-spaced page. If you are responding to two chapters in TSIS, you can do one half of the page on each chapter. Make sure that you title each journal with the required assignment. The journals will earn points (20 points each), but most importantly, doing these will strengthen your writing, your English fluency, your reading comprehension, as well as increase your reading speed and your vocabulary acquisition.
