Dialectical Journals
Overview: During the time that my class and I read the books assigned, my teacher introduced us to Dialectical Journals. These journals consist of many quotes (we put together six each assignment) from the book that we would respond to as well as 'CDC' which stands for claim, data, and commentary. After we compiled the quotes we wanted, we chose one we already responded to and produced a claim or statement on what we believe the quote's purpose, meaning, or importance is and back it up with data and commentary. Picking out quotes and analyzing and responding to them was a great preparation for the essay, something I would highly recommend to any student who might be confused about what a specific quote means or is relating to. Below, you can read some of my Dialectical Journals.
