“Dibs in Search of Self” by Virginia Axline; Priced at $6.99 @amazon.com. You may also find it at major book stores. Get it early. Excuses such as “I could not find the book or I did not receive it in the mail yet” will not suffice.
As you read, you should take notes on significant or striking points in the reading on one side of your journal. Take down anything that interests you and seems worthy of comment: a quote, an idea, a fact, an illustration....whatever provokes your thinking.
2. On the facing page of your journal, write down your response to what you are reading. Remember: be selective, choosing and commenting on passages which spark your interest and curiosity. (You should have perhaps 10-15 thoughtful, well-developed responses in your journal). Your responses can include critiques, questions, and disagreements, ideas you like (and why), analogies to other readings or ideas, connections to your personal experiences, etc.
3. Leave plenty of room, either in a suitable wide margin or below your entries, for responses from other readers of your journal (i.e. your teacher).
