Just Between You and Me

(udated 1/6/09 )

 

Sometimes it is important to write while freely recording your thoughts, without worrying about your spelling and punctuation. Your personal page "Just Between You and Me" will be your space for writing freely. This is a tradition with a long history. For years, people have written journals and diaries to record their thoughts. You may already keep a diary or have read a book using the journal/diary genre. While the above two texts are often read only by the writer, your "Just Between You and Me" document will also be read by me.

You may also use this space to write stories, poems or any other writing you choose. The main idea is for you to write freely, letting your ideas flow without concern for spelling and punctuation.  

You will find a quick link on your Students’ Homepage. If you need some ideas, you will also find a link that provides writing prompts. You will frequently be required to add to this page. You may also add to it at other times.
