LITERATURE - Weekly Reading Logs, Class Discussions, Chapter Reaction Paragraphs, and Literary Assessments:
Weekly Reading Logs: students will read for 30 minutes each day and fill out a Reading Log related to that day’s reading. Parents, please initial each day to confirm that your child has read. Reading Logs are due on Fridays and are worth 14 points: one point each day for reading and filling out that day’s question, and one point each day for a parent signature. Please note that Reading Logs turned in without parent signatures are worth 7/14 points. 50% grades on Reading Logs will bring down overall letter grades.
Class Discussions, Chapter Reaction Paragraphs, and Literary Assessments: in addition to Weekly Reading Logs, poems, short stories, and novels will be read together as a class. As we take turns reading, we will stop to discuss literary elements as a group (plot, character, conflict, setting, et cetera). At the end of each chapter, students write reaction paragraphs to help fuel class-wide discussion. After we’ve read, short quizzes will be given in class to assess student comprehension. Students also receive points for participating in class discussions.
