We are going to be moving even faster and if you do not figure out the concepts you will fall behind. Please talk to Mr. P or I if you need help or have any questions.

7-2 – Reading Response Journal

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

The next Reading Response Journal is due on Wednesday February 11.

In order to improve on your work please look at the example that is glued into your journal and also look at some of the sentence starter suggestions included too.

When we mark your response we are looking to see if you wrote about your feelings, thoughts, and ideas regarding what you have read. We are looking to see if you explained these feelings, thoughts, and ideas in detail and that you have provided some connection to your book and/or your life.

If you are still unsure on how to improve your work please talk to Mrs. Sutherland and I and we will do what we can to help you get your work to that next level.
