ENG 510 Module Seven Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Journal activities in this course are private between you and the instructor. A course journal is generally made up of many individual assignments.
The journals in this course will help to prepare you for Final Project II, the creative writing tool kit. In this final project, you will select creative writing styles and
techniques that you believe will be most effective in both expressing your goals as a writer and reaching the audiences you plan to target in your work.
Prompt: For this journal assignment, compose a short scene, a poem, or an excerpt from a screenplay where two people argue about “something” but are really
arguing about “something else.” For instance, perhaps the characters are arguing about whose responsibility it was to do a household task, when they are really
arguing about one of the character’s immaturity. By the end of this short scene, the meaning of this “something else” should be clear to the reader—perhaps by
using dialogue, thought, or one or both characters’ gestures or actions in a setting.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Communicate the details of the setting through action and dialogue (direct, indirect, or a combination of the two). Make sure you deliberately choose a
setting that is not one or both of the characters’ home(s).
Justify choices for the writing techniques used to convey the argument. What is the “something else”? What were the two characters really arguing
about? What writing techniques did you use to convey this?
Guidelines for Submission: Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Your journal
assignment should be no more than 400 words and any sources should be cited in MLA format.
