  2. Why Dialectical Notebooks? • Dialectical notebooks take many forms and the basic concept has many names. • The Greek word dilektosmeans "conversation, discussion" in search of the truth that defines the relationship between readers and text when they use the dialectical notebook. • In essence, there is a tension between reader and text, so that the student becomes engaged in the content. • It is this engagement that creates meaning, regardless of whether the text is fiction or nonfiction.

  3. Text or “What I’ve Read” Column • Students divide their notebooks into two columns. • One column is labeled Text, and here students record chronologically what they consider to be the most important points of the text they are reading. • Thus, when you finish, you’ll have a summary of the material.

  4. Text or “What I’ve Read” Column • Key passages that make you stop, connect, infer or ask as question. • Passages should be substantial (significant, important) and at least 3 lines or more. • Must include page numbers.

  5. Response, or “How I Respond” • The second column is titled Response. • This column should run parallel with the Text column, and it contains your personal reactions, which occur at the moment you’re reading the text. • Literally, it is your part of the conversation. • They ask questions, make comments, and record ideas next to that part of the text that has piqued their interest. • By the time you have finished, this column represents an intellectual history of your reading experience.

  6. Response Guidelines • Your response to the passage, question or comment. • Record why this passage seems important, what it makes you think, or a question it raises. • Responses should be substantial (important or significant) with at least 5 lines or more.

  7. Requirements • Using the format shown below, make a dialectical journal with important quotes from the reading on one side and your comments and questions on the other. • Make a total of 20 notes, taken evenly across the book. • Spread the entries out - don’t make more than three or four notes on one side of a page in the book. • Type your notes, or write neatly in ink.
