This page was created as an assignment for WR123 for Professor R. Quay.  The basic principle of a double journal is to gather information for a source--paraphrases, summaries, quotes--and list them on the left half of your paper.  On the right half of your paper you make make comments--what you liked or did not like and why; your interpretation; clarification; questions; if the source is reliable.
