Independent Reading

You will need to read at least 25 independent reading books over the course of this school year. You will need to document your having read these books. You will need to have completed at least 10 independent reading assignments -to be given out in class on 10 of your 25 books. Otherwise, while you are reading you will keep reading logs in your sourcebook.

They should include:

• The date
• The author
• The title
• Pages read during that sittinga synopsis of what you have read in those pages
• a connection of some kind (text-to-text, text-to-world, or text-to-self)
• You should also make a note of places in the text that appeal to you where the author has done something interesting with the language or writing (i.e. figurative language, strong examples of sentence structures or characterization)
  
  You will be held accountable for this work
