Double Entry Journal
The article says…. | We think… |
Facebook leads to depression and other problems. Facebook is great for shy kids to expand their horizons. Facebook can lead to drugs | We agree that Facebook can cause these things because people focus so much on being online rather than face to face contact and seclude themselves from others. We agree that Facebook is good for those who are shy because they are able to express themselves where in person they might be too shy to talk or meet people. We tended to disagree with this because we felt that it is the person’s life outside of Facebook that caused a person to use drugs. It’s not Facebook itself. There are many people who don’t use drugs that have Facebook. |
I think of myself as a Mathematics teacher. As a teacher I’m going to help others achieve their goals in life, and help them understand math and how useful it can be in everyday life.

Code breaker (coding competence)
Meaning maker (semantic competence)
Text user (pragmatic competence)
Text critic (critical competence)
