Double Journal Model:represents a method of having a conversation with a work of literature. It is a type of notetaking where students write notes that dialogue with one another, thereby developing critical reading and reflective questioning.
Journal entries may take several forms:
1.questions about material not understood
2.comments to explain a statement
3.facts to remember for later
4.comments on interesting diction, imagery, characters, or literary devices
5.definitions to vocabulary
6.questions regarding what may be a flaw in the writer’s logic
7.an assertion about a character, or other interesting aspects of the novel and the
writer’s craft.
Your journal should be set up on your own paper like the model below.
This is the “notetaking” side. On this side, write down
quotes from the story, or images, or other points. Use page
numbers so that you can find the passages later.
This is the “notemaking” side. On this side, write down
your responses to the quotes, images, or other points you
listed on the left side. Ask questions, raise insights, react to
the ideas.
