October Reading Reflection

October Reading Reflection

The focus of your reading reflection will be one book you read over the past month and a half. This reading reflection will have multiple parts. Each part will have multi-paragraphs. However, if you didn’t finish a book this reading cycle or didn’t make the required number of pages this will be difficult.

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.

First Part:

- How many pages did you read this month?

- What were the titles of the books you read?

- Based on the grading chart, what grade do you believe you deserve

A = 350– + = 20 pts

B = 249-349 = 17 pts

C = 148-248 = 15 pts

D = 147-97 = 13 pts

F = 0-97 = 11pts

- If you did not meet the page requirement, make a plan for next time. How will you meet the reading requirements?

Second Part:

Pick one book that you read this month as the focus of your reading reflection. Go back to your reading reflections in your notebook and reflect on: your reactions, thoughts, feeling, connections made, how characters changed, themes, etc. as you were reading.

Would you recommend/or not recommend this book to another person? Why? What kind of person would like this book?
