IRP+Part+II

Independent Reading Project | Part II (Major grade) | Due 11/9 & 11/10 (2nd Six Weeks) | Assignment: Interactive Reading Log
While you are reading your book, you will make FOUR journal entries on your wiki. Each entry should include a summary of events, the date, chapter number/title, and pages read with each summary. (Example: If your book has 20 chapters, each entry will summarize 5 chapters. If your book does not have chapters but has 200 pages, each entry will summarize 50 pages.)

In addition to the summary, you will record your interaction with the text. You can't be wrong in your responses, as these reflect your personal reactions to the text. Take some risks and be honest. Use the sample prompts to help you get started with expressing your likes/dislikes, confusion, and observations. Tell me what you think something means. Make predictions about what might happen later. Use your personal experiences to connect with the plot, characters, setting, etc.

Chapters/Pages Read || Summarize the events of the chapters/pages you have read. || Write about what you think or feel about what you read. You should include 4-6 of the phrases from the “Sample Interactive Prompts” list to complete. ||
