Rela Daily Homework
Directions: Write Double Entry Journal: A double entry journal shows your conversations with
the text. It highlights questions, connections, and ideas you annotated as you read. Double entry
journals will be evaluated on textual evidence and attention to details. Each text entry must
include at least one complete sentence directly quoted from the text. Each response
must be a complete paragraph to get full credit. Some examples are provided below as models
for your Journal entries. The grading rubric is included as well. You are required to have five
entries per week (There are seven days in a week). Make sure each entry is clearly identified
(title, page number). I will collect the journals on a rotating schedule. Complete these
assignments in your Writers notebook or a new homework journal.
Example of entries:
