Independent Reading Check-in for Term 3: Guidelines.
Please see the following for the end-of-quarter reading check-in, probably due around April 4:
Now you can turn more of your attention to your independent reading and research project.
You'll turn in evidence of the reading on or before March 23.You're expected to read between 500 and 1000 pages or so by the end of the term. (If you're reading difficult experimental fiction you'll likely read closer to 500 pages and if you're reading popular children's fiction you'll be expected to hit 1000.)
The goal of this reading is to prepare for the paper you will write during the fourth quarter. The notetaking and writing you do about the reading you are doing during third quarter will help you a lot when you write the paper.
There are three different ways you could show evidence of your reading and thinking.Option 1: Keep a quotation response journal. You should have a quotation and response for every twenty to thirty (20-30) pages or so. Your responses should often relate to the central question and/or thesis in your proposal.
Option 2: Keep a double-entry notebook. Take notes -- quotations, paraphrases, other information -- on the left side of your notes & on the right side write down your thoughts about the information on the left side. What you write on the right side should often relate to the central question and/or thesis in your proposal. You should have a page of notes for every twenty to thirty (20-30) pages or so of your reading.
Option 3: Write short, informal, exploratory essay responses (300-500 words or so). You should write an essay for every fifty to sixty (50-60) pages or so of reading. These responses should discuss the reading in terms of your central question and/or provisional thesis.
