Marji, from what I've gleaned on the list so far it's a notebook that
students use to keep teacher notes/notes on lessons, etc. on one page and
the page opposite it is where students respond to it in some way.  Several
people have responded and sent me links to read more about it.  Let me know
if you want me to forward them to you.

How do you set up and use reader response journals for your students?
