 //The Grapes of Wrath// Journal Assignment Each week you will need to complete a journal entry for the chapters covered in that week’s reading. Options for journal topics are below. You do not need to include a summary of the chapters read (although you may take notes to use on quizzes - separately). You do not have to cover all of the options below. Instead, choose the option you think best fits that week’s reading. These will be spot checked every due date and turned in at the completion of the novel for a total of 90 points (15 each).

**Requirements: **

· Include the chapters covered at the top of the journal · Identify the content of the journal at the top (Ma Joad’s evolution) · May be hand written (1 page single spaced) or typed (1 page 12 pt double spaced) · Include textual references (maybe even some quotes!) and thoughtful discussion · Complete sentences · Jim Casy as a Christ figure · Ma Joad’s leadership · Tom Joad’s evolution · Rose of Sharon’s evolution)
