Reading+Responses+due+September+6,+2013

In the comment box below, post your reading responses. Be sure the include the title, author or source, and pages read. Remember that a reading response must cover 30 minutes of reading.

A high-quality Reading Response should summarize (not retell) the text read and then respond to the text on a personal level. The summary portion should be no less than four sentences. The personal response portion should discuss the images visualized while reading, explore questions for understanding or curiosity, or explain insights. In this portion students are free to talk about why they did or did not like the text. Making predictions is also appropriate. This is the portion of the response that discusses what is going on between the reader and the text.
