The journal could be a composition book, a spiral notebook, or looseleaf paper contained in a folder with brads. A worksheet packet is provided in PDF format. The worksheet packet includes at least 3 activities, a word list with definitions, a reading comprehension activity, and answer keys. The class is supplemented by an online digital activity on Quizlet. These activities are customized to each weekly list. There are 20 weeks of content in this course but the content does not build.
