Update on Semester Reading

At this point, some of you have finished several books while others have finished a few chapters.  It's time to step up the reading, as you will need to be finished reading your book on December 16th.  In light of that, we will be reading today and tomorrow and one day a week up until the Holiday Break in December.  Each week, you will also have a blog post to think about what is happening in your novel to help you prepare for the final assignment.  

This week’s question:  What understanding do you have of the main character so far?  Who is s/he when the story began?  What changes in character have occurred?  What have been the catalysts for these changes so far? 

Moving forward, your blog posts will be assessed using the following rubric:


95+
85+
75+
65+
55+
·       Insightful and perceptive response addresses the question
·       Examples and details from the text strongly support purpose
·       Language is highly effective and has an engaging tone
·       No errors are present in grammar, usage or mechanics
·       Completely addresses the question
·       Examples and details from the text fully support purpose
·       Language is effective and has an appropriate tone
·       Minor errors in SWE don’t distract the reader

·     Broad and generalized response to the question
