February Response 1


Your task is to Complete a Journal Response on your Independent Reading book. Use at least 2 sentence leads from your Reading FOLDER.

Remember: A summary of the book is not quite as interesting as your thoughts, questions or other comments about the book. There are times when summaries are important; however this is not the time.

With this in mind please use capital letters where appropriate and correct punctuation.

As you create your response remember to refer back to the BLOG RUBRIC (see below) to earn the maximum points.

















Hint:
To make your response more original add more to your response than the two sentence leads. Expand your ideas, give details and examples to support the sentences leads you choose.

Be sure to include the title of your book and its author so others who read your comment will understand.

Your Response might start out something like this . . .

Title:
Author:
Sentence Lead Starters: # & #

If you finish early be sure to read previous posts and comments on our blog to see if anyone has referenced a comment that you have made.

As you read other comments do you notice anyone who has read a book that you are reading/have read. If so, what comments do you have for them?
