Double Entry Journal (DEJ)
What Is A Double-Entry Journal?
The Double-Entry Journal (DEJ) is a two-column reading journal designed to facilitate a more engaged experience for students as they either read or view a text. Double-Entry Journals are used by teachers in English and across disciplines. The idea is simple but effective: the DEJ encourages students to view reading and viewing as active processes during which they can interrogate and interact with an author and a text.
