Topic: Picture
Please write 2-3 sentences about a picture you have seen. Make sure you put this entry above the last entry on your journal so the most recent comments are always on top of your document. This could be a picture of yourself, your family, or something else. It could be artistic or taken just for fun. Try to describe the picture you are thinking about, and why it is important or meaningful to you. Why was it taken, where was it taken, etc. When you have completed the Journal Entry you will read your directions for the rest of the class today below.
