The dialogue journal: Read and respond to at least one classmate’s journal entry. Make this an active conversation (use the ‘post comments’ link in your blog and be sure to leave your name for credit) and respond at least once to your partner’s response to you. Your initial journal entry should be at least one page, but response to journals can be as short as a paragraph.
