Blog Journal Entry Guideliness
1. Content: Your journal entry should be rich in content. That is to say, your paragraphs should explain fully the idea that you want to develop. You need to provide supporting ideas and give details about the point that you want to make. Whenever necessary, you need to provide relevant examples to illustrate your point. You need to make sure that your explanations are clear enough to your readers. Mainly your classmates and your course instructor will be your audience. You need to write by taking your audience into consideration. When you write something, you need to judge how clear you are to your audience. If you think you are not clear enough in your writing, you need to add some examples and extra detail information to support your ideas. You need to be as informative as possible.
2. Organization: Your journal entry is supposed to be organized. You need to order your ideas  and link them together by using appropriate linking words and transitions. You need to devote one paragraph to one main idea. Whenever the focus in your ideas change, you need to start a new paragraph. All the ideas in one paragraph should revolve around one single main idea. You need to make sure that your readers can follow your writing easily.
3. Language: Your use of English in your journal entries should be as accurate as possible. The use of a variety of vocabulary items (it is usually not a good idea to repeat the same words again and again in your journal) is a good idea. You are expected to re-read your journal entry before posting it  for language mistakes. You need to use a variety of sentence types.
You are supposed to incorporate the language points that we are covering in the course to your writings.
Your entries should be between 300-400 words and in 12 puntos.
