assignment sheet and your section. Your journal should meet the requirements of
your teacher, so make sure the topic you want to write to the task. Then, check
that you write the correct paper type and use appropriate research material.
You do not want to do all the work to write journals and know you're doing it
wrong. [1]
If you had the
column, then you know exactly what to do to get high scores. Think of your
section as a checklist for your paper.

questions do you find? What pattern do you notice? What reactions and your own
observations? Dive into yourself to find your thesis - a string that holds it
all together [3].

will not be enough to write a good journal. You need to do specific research to
find resources that support the claim that you want. You will switch from a
general search on your topic to targeted searches aimed at finding information
to support your own ideas. [4]

finding a needle in a haystack.

outline to discuss the introduction, contents and conclusions. Bring the reader
and state your thesis in the intro, please support your reason in the body, and
wrap it all in the end.
