*YOU choose the novel
~ one that will inspire you to think and want to read more!
* READ a minimum of 20 MINUTES EVERY
NIGHT!
* Bring your novel daily, and come to class ready to write in
your journal about what you read – not just plot details but the
questions and ideas that came to you as you were reading.
How higher level thinking is reflected in journals:
compare two books, discuss theme/author's
message, conflict, characterization,
author style, culture, relate it to your
life, ask BIG QUESTIONS, give YOUR
JUDGMENT or OPINION, and always provide
SUPPORT.
