More about Reading Logs

Reading Logs

This is to be handed in every week.

This log, of reading done outside of class in the selected and approved novel, is worth 5 points per day for 5 days. (Of course, you could read - and record- on the other days of each week too.)

It should be handed in on the last day you are in class for the week -- Thursday or Friday.
For each day you read, make sure you summarize what you have read that day, and add impressions, connections, or wonderings (questions) in the space provided.

Pages read should be recorded like this: "page 20 - 34." In other words, record the page you started on that day, and the page you finished on.

If you are a fast reader -- a devourer of books-- read for about 20 pages or so, then stop to record on the log. You could do this every 20 pages or so. You need not record every time you finish 20 or so pages. You just need 4 or 5 entries for the week.
When you finish one book, keep the reading log for the next book you start. You still need to hand in a log once a week.
