Independent Reading Expectations
- Every day in class, you will be silently reading an independent novel of your choosing.
- As you are reading, I will be conducting 1-on-1 conferences with each of you about what you are reading/the progress you are making in your book.
- Most days, you will be asked to journal about what you have read (prompts will be provided).
- Every week, you are expected to read for two hours per week outside of class. (Monday is the start of a new week)
- Every Monday, I will check to see that you have logged two hours of reading into your reading log.
*When journaling after independent reading, please always write the date (8/31/17) and the question before you respond.
