Beginning Tuesday, September 8, I will be checking journal entries for the independent reading. Remember which row you are in and what day will be your check. Be sure to keep up and fill out your study guide. The handout is below if you lost yours.
The guidelines for the journals are in the handout titled Independent Reading Guidelines that I gave everyone.

- As you read, you will keep a journal of your thoughts and reactions about your book. You can choose to do this on paper or you can create a Google Doc that you share with me ([email protected]). You will need to have at least three (3) entries per week to get full credit for the journal check (of course you can have more).
- To receive full credit for your journal entries, your responses must show thoughtfulness, reflection, and that you’ve read your book. Each response must be at least two (2) thought out paragraphs or more. I will not be checking for proper spelling or grammar since these are your personal thoughts, but try to stick to standard conventions as best as you can.
- There will be three (3) checks of the journal before the study guide is due: September 8-11 (because of the holiday, everyone will move one day over), September 14-17, and September 21-24.
