JOURNAL 6
This journal is based on Ada Limon–The Raincoat and Nikki Giovanni-Legacies. You will see questions here asking you to share your perspective and impressions on these two texts. I encourage you to read through the questions before you read, but to only return to answer the questions after reading and comprehending the texts.
As you answer, make sure to make explicit and direct reference to the text, and answer each part as completely as possible. Each answer should be at least 3 sentences long.
You will be assessed on the development of your answers, depth of your analysis, connection to and understanding of the text, and clarity of your language. This journal is worth 2% of your final mark.
