Dialectical Journalling

Class:

Dialectical journaling allows me, as your teacher, to gauge your thinking and reading processes. It affords you the opportunity to interact and make meaning of text. When you share your ideas with your peers, it gives you the opportunity to interact with one another’s thinking and learn from each other. Use the left column of the chart below to write clear references to the text; use the right column of the chart to share your reactions.
