1st Reading Project

The sixth grade students were introduced to their first reading project today. All students were asked to choose one fiction novel at their level by Friday, 9/3. We would like the students to complete a Plot Sequence and Response Writing Journal while reading at home and here at school.

Here are directions for what we expect.

Directions: As you read your novel, write a one-two sentence summary and a response statement for each chapter/section you read. Make sure to include the date and page number for each entry.

Plot Summary:
actual events from the book

Response: (Only one per summary but please differ your response. We expect at least two of each kind before the completion of the journal.)
a prediction of what will happen next
a question about something you don't understand
a reaction to something a character did or said
an opinion about what you liked, disliked, or found interesting
