Students will maintain a double-entry journal based on the Buehl text. A double-entry journal is a way for students to engage in a dialogue with the assigned readings. Students will construct double-entry journal entries by noting the significant passages, concepts, statements, and points of view within the assigned reading that are found to be most meaningful and/or controversial. The second entry within the double-entry journal identifies personal insights and reflections regarding the selected passage and responds to that passage.
A minimum of 3 – 5 quotations and responses per chapter are required. Use the rubric at the end of this document to guide your assignment.
