8. DOUBLE ENTRY JOURNALS (Reading, Writing)
Description: Double Entry Journals organize a student’s thoughts on a specific subject in a novel way.
Application: Use this writing activity as a method to improve student interest, comprehension and vocabulary.
Process: Assign a reading to students. Direct them to create a graphic organizer consisting of two columns and as many rows as directed by the teacher; the left side will consist of a quote from the text and the right side will hold the student’s response to the particular passage. (Sometimes students will choose the passages for reflection, and other times, the teacher will choose.) Use the chart for right-hand side suggestions.
