Reading Logs for This Week

You are responsible for reading four nights this week for a total of 2 hours of reading. Please write a log (author, title, pages, time). Then write a paragraph summarizing what you just read. Have your parent or guardian sign and put their phone number on the bottom.

If you missed the first set of reading logs...

If you didn't read from the 17th to the 23rd, you are responsible for 2 hours of reading + logs and a reader's response. This is for those of you who earned a zero on the assignment listed as ReadingLogsMay24 on Edline. You may not double count any reading. The response is on conflict. You must do a response on all of the conflicts present in what you just read. Detail the conflicts and identify what types they are. It should be approximately 3 paragraphs in length.

Your parent or guardian must sign the homework.
