Dialectic means “the art or practice of arriving at the truth by using conversation involving question and answer.” The “dialectic” was the method Socrates used to teach his students how to be actively engaged in the struggle to obtain meaning from an unfamiliar and challenging work. A dialectical journal is a written conversation with yourself about a piece of literature that encourages the habit of reflective questioning. You will use a double-entry form to examine details of a passage and synthesize your understanding of the text.

There is to be NO collaboration with other students. This will count as a writing grade, for which you will be assessed on content, fluency, word choice and language conventions.

PROCEDURE: As you read, choose passages that stand out to you and record them in the left-hand column the chart. These must at a minimum be a full sentence and from different pages in the assigned section. Select text that resonates with you. (ALWAYS include page numbers).

In the right column, write your response to the text (ideas/insights, questions, reflections, and comments on each passage)

 Label your responses using the following codes:

 (Q) Question – ask about something in the passage that is unclear

 (C) Connect – make a connection to your life, the world, or another text

 (P) Predict – anticipate what will occur based on what’s in the passage

 (CL) Clarify – answer earlier questions or confirm/disaffirm a prediction

(R) Reflect – think deeply about what the passage means in a broad sense –not just to the characters in the story/author of the article. What conclusions can you draw about the world, about human nature, or just the way things work?

(E) Evaluate - make a judgment about what the author is trying to say.
