Double-entry notes provide a framework for engaging with text. They have wide-spread applications. They require students to return to the text and to make a close, critical reading. They allow students to bring their own thinking in response to the text to the fore, and to engage in written conversation with other students. These notes can serve as a prelude for classroom discussion and for writing.

  1. Students use a sheet of loose leaf paper, folded in half vertically. At the top of the left column, they write “Quotes” as the heading. At the top of the right column, they write “Responses/Comments.”

  1. Distribute the text and instruct students to monitor their own thoughts as they read the text to themselves. Whenever they find the text has triggered a train of thought, they copy the piece of text that began their thinking in the left hand column, taking care for correctness and using quotation marks. Parallel with the quotation, they note down their thoughts in the right hand column. When they begin a new quote, they should skip lines so that both the quote and the response begin on the same line. This way, connections between the two will be easy to follow later on when students refer back to their notes.

*Please note that sometimes you will mark off a chunk of text to respond to but choose to keep on reading. That makes perfect sense. While it’s likely that when you return to this bit of text you will write something different from what you would originally have written a the moment the text caught your eye. Yet, what you write will have its own value. The point is to find your own way with this reading/thinking strategy – one that works for who you are as a reader.
