The Pact – Reading Assignment

This assignment outlines the process of using a Dialectical Journal to engage with the text "The Pact" during the 2014 Bridge Camp at Quest Early College High School. Students are encouraged to take one handout to facilitate motivation and comprehension at a Pre-AP/Advanced level. The journal serves as a platform for personal response, integration of class discussions, and preparation for literary analysis assignments. The aim is to foster a bond among current and past students while developing a deeper understanding of the themes presented in the reading.

  2. Why ? • Provide motivation for the huge task you are setting out to accomplish • Provide a literary structure for the level of comprehension required in a Pre-AP/Advanced level course • Provide a common lesson and theme on which to focus for this week • Create a bond to all past, present and future QECHS students

  3. Reading and the Dialectical Journal • The term “Dialectic” means “the art or practice of arriving at the truth by using conversation involving question and answer.” • Think of your dialectical journal as a series of conversations with the text we will read this week. The process is meant to help you develop a better understanding of anything you are asked to read. • Use your journal to incorporate your personal response to the texts, your ideas about the themes we cover and our class discussions. • You will find that it is a useful way to process what you’re reading, prepare yourself for group discussion, and gather textual evidence for your Literary Analysis assignments.
