Keeping A Dialectical Journal
Your journal will use a three-entry form:

• 
  If you would like to handwrite your dialectical journal, fold a piece of lined notebook paper into three columns. If you are using a computer, create a Word document with three columns.
  
• 
  In the LEFT COLUMN, write down a direct quotation that you think is interesting or important. If you are reading a hard copy of the novel, you MUST include the page number after the quotation. If you are reading an electronic copy of the novel, you MUST include the chapter number after the quotation. You need to include quotations from the beginning, middle, and end of the book.
  

• 
  In the MIDDLE COLUMN, write down YOUR OWN thoughts, commentary, and questions about the information in the LEFT COLUMN.
  
• 
  In the RIGHT COLUMN, identify a literary device used in the passage. Then, explain how the literary device highlights, emphasizes, explains, clarifies or supports the apparent goal of the author in writing the passage.
  
• 
  Each dialectical journal assignment needs to have 10 entries that include quotation selections from the beginning, middle, and end of the novel.
