   Book

   At the end of each class, students are expected to spend 10 minutes
   reading a book of their own choice. They can then reflect what they have
   read in the journal.

   Journal

   Keeping a journal is a part of your continuous assessment. Every week you
   should write a few sentences about what you have learnt, what you need to
   work on; you can also write about what is happening in the book you are
   reading, etc.

   You should contribute to the journal every week = even if there is no
   class or if you do not come to the class.

   Journal Assessment

   Are there at least ten proper entries in your journal? Have you included
   your Placement Test results comparison?

   Have you included your Smart Goals and reflection on your Smart Goals?

   How much have you written? How complex are your thoughts?

   Are you able to talk about your journal and take us through it? - you will
   talk about it during the speaking part of your final test
