The purpose of the Daily Journal is for students to gain ownership over their daily experiences in this unit by using a set of evaluation criteria. As always, these criteria can be altered to meet the needs of your particular students. In addition to evaluating their work on a daily basis, this journal serves as a place for them to answer the Journal Topic questions and make any additional comments about what they have read, do not understand, or simply jot down a favorite passage.
