Regulars - December Reading Reflection
December Reading Reflection
The focus of your reading reflection will be one book you read over the past month. This reading reflection will have two parts. Each part will have multi-paragraphs. I expect one page minimum. If you didn’t finish a book this reading cycle or didn’t make the required number of pages this will be difficult.
Do you best to address every section.
This reading reflection is not meant to be a polished piece of writing. I do, however, expect you to be mindful of Standard English, correct capitalization and punctuation.
- How many pages did you read this month?
- What were the titles of the books you read?
- Did you abandon any books this month? If so, what were they?
- Based on the grading chart, what grade do you believe you deserve?
B = 175- 239= 17 pts
C = 110- 174= 15 pts
D = 44-109 = 13 pts
F = 0-43 = 11pts
• If you did not meet the page requirement, make a plan for next time. How will you meet the reading requirements?
Second Part:
What are you reading plans for Christmas Break? What if anything are you planning to read.
Next semester the reading requirement is going to be raised from 350 to 400. How do you think this will affect you? What will you need to do differently to meet the reading requirement?
