HW 9/7: Their Eyes Were Watching God

Assignment: Create a double entry/dialectical reading response journal for each reading section in Their Eyes Were Watching God.  You may use my simple template, or create or modify one of your own.  If you prefer handwriting, that is fine too--but I do advise using a ruler to draw the vertical lines to keep things somewhat neat and tidy :)

The quote goes on the left, and your insightful comments go on the right.  The page number goes in the middle, or if you prefer you may eliminate that column and add the page number to the quote (use parentheses).  In your quote selection, focus on what impresses or confuses you.  Use this journal as place to clarify your "What/How/SoWhat?" thinking en route to a deeper understanding of the MOWAAW.  I recommend that you try to include a mix of quotation types, including dialogue, setting, descriptive, and thematic passages.  Similarly, try to vary the types of comments and analysis you provide: connections you are making to the real world, your own life, or other texts one time, and questions or predictions the next.  Be sure to sprinkle in ample amounts of insightful analysis as well.
