Independent Reading Turning Points: September 20, 2019

Focus: What kinds of readers are we growing into?

1. Warming up with a book club title perusal

  • Which books interest you?
  • Which people are interested in your book, too?
  • We need groups to be no smaller than 3 and no larger than 5. No student may work individually; the whole idea is to collaborate. :)


2. Composing your next-to-last independent reading thought log (make sure you look at the questions I scribbled on your previous thought logs)

3. Introducing your first one-minute speech, which also happens to be your independent reading final assessment

HW:
1. For MONDAY: Submit the final draft of your personal essay to Turnitin.com by 4:00 pm.

2. For TUESDAY: Decide on your book club book; have your letter signed and bring your new book to class.

3. For NEXT FRIDAY, SEP 27: 

  • Finish your independent reading book and prepare your final assessment (we will go over the assignment this Friday, but click here if you'd like a sneak peek or are absent). If you are absent on Friday, you will need to present to the entire class on Monday.
  • All make-up work / revised work from the first 6 weeks is due this Friday. After this, all grades in IC will stand as they are.
