BRAVE Independent Reading Log 2015-16
Each week, please read independently for 100+ minutes and cover a minimum of 50 pages or more each week for HW. Use the Reading Log to show time and date of reading and the pages read. Stay on pace (see due dates) so that you finish reading, writing, and meeting with me… easily. Have your Notebook with the Reading Log completed and signed (and your book) in class EVERY FRIDAY.

Braves Read Assertively and Vigorously Everyday
You will be exposed to a variety of genres this year. I am guiding the genre choice, but within it, you may choose the book. By the end of the year, you will have read a minimum of four new books, analyzed the writer’s structure and use of language -or- written an essay either explaining or arguing a point. For A+ credit, create a project to extend understanding. Here are the four genres from which your books must be found.
First: Read your book of choice for a minimum of 100 minutes a week. (60+ pages a week… or more!)
Second: Record reading on Reading Log and track Literary Terms and “big ideas” on bookmark.
Third: Complete a Novel Map as you go, update it every Friday in class after Bell Ringer and Latin.
Fourth: When done reading book and Novel Map, meet with Mrs. Owensby for a “book chat”.
Last (…optional and for A+ credit only): Create a project from the choices on the other side and present to class. This can only be done AFTER the assignments above have been completed first.
