"A book, too, can be a star, 'explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,' a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe." - from Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Medal Acceptance Speech

Work to do in the Computer Lab

Take out your reading logs that are due today.

1. Review and reflect on your blog posts. Complete the first part of the log; check off the posts you have and answer the questions.

2. Read and comment on at least 2 or 3 students' reading responses from your class; follow the guidelines on the sheet. Finally, write down whose blogs you commented on. In addition, answer these questions on a separate sheet of paper:
  • Who has a strong lead and introduction?
  • Whose response makes you want to read the book? What book is it?
  • What ideas do you have for improving and writing your own reading responses?

3. Make sure you add up all the pages you read and write down the total number of pages read on the bottom of your log.

4. Based on responses you read and the lists I have provided on the left side of my blog, list at least 3 books you would like to read. Write down the title and author of the books on the same sheet of paper in which you answered the above questions.
