Rather than dialog journals, I write each student a letter when he/ she starts the class. In the letter I invite the student to write to me (outside of class) if s/he wants to and has time. Because many of my students work, I don't want it to seem like a bad thing if they don't write. A relatively small number write and we correspond during the semester but those who do enjoy it.
