  1. Four Column Journal SCE

  2. How to Do a Four Column Journal • Vertically divide your paper into four columns • Label the columns as follows: CitationSummarize Connect Explain

  3. Citation • “Cite an im-portant passage from the text” (author’s last name and page number). • Connect • Make a con- nection with the cited passage (text-to-text, self, or world) • Explain • Give reasons why you made the con-nection with what was summa-rized • Summarize • Review the main ideas of the cited passage and how it advances the plot or essay

  4. Guidelines • All column entries, except the citation column, must have responses of ten words or more. • An entry is complete only when all four columns have responses • All entries must line up across the page and be numbered. • To earn an “A,” do one entry per page. For a “C,” do one entry for every two pages.

  5. In the Citation Column Cite an important passage, word for word, from the text (author’s last name and page number)

  6. In the Summarize Column Review the main ideas of the cited passage and how it advances the plot or essay

  7. In the Connect Column Make a connection with the cited passage (text-to-text, self, or world)

  8. In the Explain Column Explain what makes the reading difficult or interesting by discussing any aspects of the cited text or the reason you made the connection.

  11. If the four-column entries do not line up across the page, multiply total score by .75 • If one or more entries of four is not done, only two points earned for that entire entry
