Dream journals
This assignment is to be done during the whole unit—you will be given a number
of sheets to fill out each night. Please fill out and keep them together. I will
collect your sheets at the end of the unit and a brief analysis of your sheets that
you complete. You will get an automatic 100 if all sheets and analysis are turned
in. If you don’t turn in all the sheets-your grade will drop proportionately. This
will count as a double homework.
Keep them by your bed!!!
