4.1 Poetry Reading Journal

Where Do I Create My Journal?

How you create your poetry reading journal is up to you. Since it is a journal response to what you have read, you do not need to get really fancy. Your teacher is interested in your thoughts, which should be completed neatly and in full sentences, but you don't need to spend time on making your responses "pretty". Here are some ideas:

  • Lined paper in a binder or duotang.
  • On a word-processing (computer) document (.docx or .rtf available below).
  • In a slideshow document (such as PowerPoint).

For each entry, put the date, your name, the title(s) of poem(s) you are responding to, and the author(s). If you wish, you can use one of the templates below:
