Here is the journal set up:

The BINARY JOURNALS                                            

For this part of the assignment, your charge is to record the binary opposites in The Wizard of Oz (teacher guided), “The Yellow Wallpaper,” “A Room of One’s Own,” and the Narrative.   Please use this format for all Binary Journals.

As you work through the text, note all of the binaries you find-- where there is tension in the text.  As you do, make specific note of where these binary opposites are at work.

Binary opposites (the first two are filled in for Oz)	Notes: Who, what, where, when, why, how…
Good / Evil
Light / Dark

When the reading or viewing is completed, review what you have collected.  Which 3-4 binaries affect the text the most? Put the positive aspect on the left side and the negative aspect on the right side.

POSITIVE / dominant	NEGATIVE / non-dominant

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF EACH COLUMN?

This is narrative.  What does the text imply ("say") about each aspect when read together?  Ask yourself, "so what?"  One paragraph of analysis per side, minimum.

What are the implications when looking at the left hand (positive) side?	What are the implications when looking at the right hand (negative) side?

ASK YOURSELF “SO WHAT?” AGAIN…

…what conclusion(s )can you draw from those implications? This should be at least one paragraph of synthesis.  don't forget to illustrate and extend.  This, as with all classwork, should be your own work.  

Remember-- you haven't connected this to the text yet.  We will do that together in class.
