This is an ongoing assignment (due each Monday) that is intended to develop critical thinking skills and mastery in writing a Response to Literature.
Scholars are required to:
1. Read each night for 20 minutes, at least five nights out of the week;
2. Complete the response sheet by answering one of the questions. They should begin by restating the question they are answering. The title of the book and the name of the author(s) should be included in the paragraph, usually in the first sentence. (For example, "A couple of things confused me in the book, The Whipping Boy, by Sid Fleischman.")
The reading log will be distributed every Monday and will also be available on this page. Waiting until Sunday night to complete the response sheet will only lead to stress. Please encourage your child to start earlier in the week. This will help him/her feel better about the assignment.
