-One journal will be from your point of view. The other will be from the other person's point of view. Try to write in the voice of each 'character' of your conflict event.
-Journals must be written in past tense.
-Journals must be typed or written neatly to look like a journal entry.
-There should be a detailed account of the conflict in the event (think 1 page for each journal).
-Make it look nice! Extra points for creativity.
-Due Wednesday for a project grade.

*remember, two assignments are due Wednesday!
