Double Journal Entries

Why write double journal entries?

Double journal entries help you to think critically about your reading. They
act as a reading strategy to help you go beyond just the facts.

Here’s what they look like:

FACTS THINKING

 List the facts in your own  How do you connect and react to
Words the facts?

 Write what you remember

 List any information from the
reading, illustrations, and diagrams
 What have your learned from the
information? Do you have new questions?
 How does this information change your
predictions?

 What affect do the facts have on the

characters and plot?
