ROSEHILL COLLEGE DRAMA
SENIOR JOURNAL WRITING
During the year you will keep a weekly journal reflecting on your experiences in class. This is your regular homework throughout the year. You are expected to write 1-2 pages every week. It is important to use the drama vocabulary you are learning in class in your writing. This will help you to understand each topic more fully and to achieve higher grades in both the internal & external assessments.
Steps for successful journal writing
