Third Quarter
Schedule
Your literary journal is a place for you, your classmates, and us to talk this year about books, reading, authors, and writing. At its best, the journal will strengthen your reading comprehension, increase your vocabulary, improve your reading fluency, and provide time and space for critical thinking about the texts you read. Our journals will become a record of the thinking, learning, and reading we did together.
Journal Entry Options:
As a bare minimum you must create an entry in your journal and get feedback from a friend at least once a week, due by Tuesday. The teachers need an entry from you at least once every three weeks. Please see the attached schedule for due dates for this quarter. This is only a minimum requirement. You may create a journal entry as often as you wish. The total entries for a quarter will hold greater weight than a single essay.
When you complete an entry, tape the appropriate rubric next to it and exchange your journal with a friend or teacher for feedback. If that's us, put your journal in the "in box". When a friend gives you his or her journal, you must respond and return it within twenty-four hours.
You may read and respond to your own and your friends' reading both during and outside reading workshop.
Number the pages of your journal, as in a book. Date your entries in the upper right-hand corner. Mention the name of the author of the book you're talking about and its title, and indicate the title by capitalizing and underlining it (e.g., A Tale of Two Cities).
We look forward to the chance to learn from you, learn with you, and help you learn more.
