- Summary:
-
Disclosing interpretation as a meaning-making process of the active mind to students in all humanities courses, and especially in literature classes, is possible in numerous, phased writing assignments with built-in exercises in recursive and reflective thinking. The exercises are written down in each student's log (journal), a process which allows students to enter into dialogic discourse with themselves and with others in the class. The exercises ask for: (1) expressions of feeling, reactions, and impressions; (2) observations and reflections; (3) generalizations, hypotheses, and theories; (4) testing hypotheses, formulating theses; and (5) meta-interpretation and reflection. The student log, in any class, enables students to become aware of themselves as meaning-makers by tracking the dialogue between themselves and the text, the "inner" dialogue, and the social dialogue inherent in critical consciousness and meaning making. (A figure illustrating the double helix model is appended.) (RS)
