Description: A Double-Entry Journal is a versatile adaptation of the response journal. Using a Two Column/T-note format, the double-entry journal allows students to record dual entries that are conceptually related. Students are juxtaposing their thoughts, ideas, and feelings according to the prompts provided for making entries.
Step-by-Step
- Use double-entry journals the same as the response journals except for heading each of the columns to reflect their purpose. Headings might be:
- What is it? / What does it mean to me?
- What I learned from the demonstration? / How the demonstration helped me understand?
- Words I need to know. / Definitions of words I need to know.
- Ding: I get it! / Dong: I don’t get it.
- What I thought before reading. / What I think after reading.
- Ways to solve the problem. / How the problem is solved.
- What problems I encountered during reading? /How I solved the problem.
