Update on Personal Reading Books
We haven't focused much on the blog recently, so time to get back at it! You had some scheduled personal reading time in class this week and some of you are reading ardently outside of the class. Let's update each other where we're at.
Your response should remind people what your book's title is and who it's by OR if you have a new book, what you're reading now. Tell us how the reading is going. What have you noticed about character development? What details have stuck out to you about what you've read so far? What does the book seem to be about theme-wise?
Your response should touch on all of those questions, so I would imagine about a page in length. If you just started a new book and don't have that much to report, comment on the last one you read.

Personal Reading Books Semester 1
Many of you have expressed the desire to choose your own books and to increase the amount you read, so we will be choosing our personal reading books for the semester.
Today, you heard a book talk from Ms. Luhtala about a variety of books to choose from, and hopefully, you've decided on one. You should bring this book with you to class, as we will have built in reading time. You will have a book trailer project at the end, so be sure you're staying up to date with the reading.
Tonight's Homework: Post a brief paragraph of why you chose this book.
