LESSON PLANS for 2019-2020
March 30 - May 20
Instructions for this class will be the same each week for the remainder of this quarter.
Students are asked to record at least 15 minutes of reading a day. This reading can be assignments they are already reading for other classes (English novels, Social Studies chapters, etc.) or reading they are doing for pleasure.
They are required to log their daily reading on a reading log sent to them on Google Classroom each week. The week's log is due each Sunday night with a new log beginning on Monday.
The information they are asked to include on the reading log is book title, number of pages read that day, a short summary (one or two sentences only) about what they read, and the number of minutes they read that day.
