Reading+Journals

On this page, you will be responsible for posting a journal entry for your WEB reading. Your entry must be posted by the end of the day on Friday each week. We will be learning the correct format for the entry. I will also have a copy of the directions and the rubric on this site. If you are reading the same book as someone else, you can comment on their entry if you would like. Remember to review the Rules for our Wiki before you save your entry.

Here is the checklist for your journal entry on the Wiki:

In the first sentence you need to have title of your book, capitalized and underlined, and the author. In the second sentence you need to have the genre of your book and how you know it is that genre. Then, give a brief summary of what you have read this week. In the next 4-6 sentences you must give at least two of the following reading strategies (choose two different strategies):

 and you explained why you made the connection
 *  Visualization: You have the page number and the sentence from the book
 * Prediction: You said what you think is going to happen, and you explained why you think so
 * Connection: You made a connection to your life, or to another book or movie,

The last sentence should tell if you are enjoying the book or not.

Your entry will be graded by the rubric in yo ur blue folder. Please double check your entry with the rubric.
