Dialectical Journal - “St. Lucy’s Home...”

Dialectical Journaling allows me, as your teacher, to gauge your thinking and reading processes. It affords you, the student, an opportunity to interact with and make meaning of the text. Use the left column of the chart below to write clear references to the text; use the right column of the chart below to share your reactions. Use the summary section to write a brief gist summary of your observations and questions for each set of entries. In the center column, place the paragraph(s) number that you are referencing.

Reference to the Text

In the space below, copy direct quotations, citations, summaries, paraphrases, and other clear references to the text that “speak to you.” Make sure you include the paragraph number.
