  1. Dialectic Journal[also known as Double Entry Journal]

  2. Setting it up • You will need to set up a T-Chart. It’s easiest to fold the page in half and to draw the line along the fold. • On the top you will label the left hand column “Note-Taking” which will be evidence from text and the right hand column “Note-Making” which will be your opinion, comments, or questions Quote My Response

  3. Procedure • o As you read, choose passages that stand out to you and record them in the left-hand column of a T-chart (ALWAYS include page numbers AND paragraph numbers). • o In the right column, write your response to the text (ideas/insights, questions, reflections, and comments on each passage)

  4. Evidence from Text • Meaningful or striking quotations or paraphrasing of important passages • Confusing or difficult quotations or passages • Vocabulary in context • Passages that remind you of your own life or something you’ve seen before • A passage that makes you realize something you hadn’t seen before • Examples of patterns: recurring images, ideas, colors, symbols or motifs. • Passages with confusing language or unfamiliar vocabulary • Events you find surprising or confusing

  5. Types of Comments • o (Q) Question - ask about something in the passage that is unclear • o (C) Connect - make a connection to your life, the world, or another text • o (P) Predict - anticipate what will occur based on what's in the passage • o (CL) Clarify - answer earlier questions or confirm/disaffirm a prediction • o (R) Reflect - think deeply about what the passage means in a broad sense - not just to the characters in the story. What conclusions can you draw about the world, about human nature, or just the way things work? • o (E) Evaluate - make a judgment about what the author is trying to say

  6. Examples of Basic Responses • o Raise questions about the beliefs and values implied in the text • o Give your personal reactions to the passage • o Discuss the words, ideas, or actions of the author • o Tell what it reminds you of from your own experiences • o Write about what it makes you think or feel • o Agree or disagree with the author

  8. Examples of Higher Level Responses • o Make connections between different events or people in the text • o Make connections to a different text (or film, song, etc...) • o Discuss the words, ideas, or actions of the author • o Consider an event or description from the perspective of someone else • o Analyze a passage and its relationship to your life
