Reading Strategy Review


Reading Strategies

DUE DATE/TIME: Tuesday, October 4th/11:59pm

1.  Always type your FIRST NAME and LAST INITIAL.  Full names will result in a DELETION of the comment and no better than a C grade.

2.  Provide me with some basic citation information about the novel you have chosen to read.  INCORRECT CAPITALZATION and PUNCTUATION will result in a C!!!

Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication.

Golding, William. Lord of the Flies. New York: Capricorn Books, 1959. Print.

3.  Choose one of the reading strategies and write a well developed paragraph for your novel:

CONNECTION -  An aspect of the novel reminds you of something in the world, of yourself personally, or to another book that you have read.
PREDICTION -  A logical guess at future events in the story.

Be sure to include a QUOTE from the book to support your paragraph.

4.  You must read your classmate’s entries and make a meaningful comment on their work in order to receive an A.
