1. Today we signed out library books and everyone should have a novel. Even though it is expected that reading takes place at home each evening, novels also need to come to class each day.
Reading journal task: (answer the following questions in your journal)
- Why Read?
- Why am I reading this book? (why did you choose the book you signed out?)
- What do I already know about the book, the author, the theme...(look for clues...title, summary, etc)
- What details do I think the author will include in the the text...make PREDICTIONS.
2. Writing task to be completed in journals... What does HAPPY look like?
- at least a paragraph of writing is required (this means you have 1 introductory sentence, at least 3 detail sentences, and 1 concluding sentence)
- you may have more writing :-)
- you may create lists or word webs...you may include pictures/visuals/drawings
- borders and/or backgrounds are ALWAYS a good idea when working in your journals (especially a task like this)
