To help you internalize the literary terminology we've learned throughout the first semester, you'll keep a Literary Journal. This will also help you prepare for the semester exam as well as the End-of-Level Literacy exam.

Journal Due Date: ** Examples: He __stole__ my __heart__ and my __wallet__. "He __carried__ a strobe __light__ and the __responsibility__ for the lives of his men."
 * Journal Requirements: **
 * Keep the journal on notebook paper or type it, whichever you prefer.
 * For each term, write the definition.
 * Include an example for each term.
 * Seven (7) of the examples must be original ones you find in the book you are reading independently.
 * The final journal is due the class period before semester exam review day (**B: Fri., 12/11 A: Thurs., 12/10).**
 * Though you'll have some time in class to work on the journal, you will not have time to complete the entire journal in class. So, over the next couple weeks, you need to be working on your journal a little each day.
 * Model Journal Entry: **
 * Zeugma**: One word controls two other words in the sentence; one of the words is incongruent (seems out of place, as if it doesn't fit with the other).


 * How do I Find Definitions and Examples? **
 * Check out About.com's Grammar and Composition page. You can type any term in the search box in the top right-hand corner. The sight gives a definition and several examples.
