Summer Reading
Journal Instructions
You will have two books to read over summer vacation. You were given these books before school ended. The assignment will be to keep a journal of what you have read. The best way to keep up with this is to purchase a spiral bound notebook specifically for this assignment.
Each journal entry needs to be two paragraphs. Each paragraph should contain at least five sentences. You may write more than two paragraphs if you chose. You are only required to write two. (No sentence should begin with the word “well”. For example, do not begin like this: Well, in this chapter….)
You should write paragraphs following the instructions below. THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO READ THE CHAPTER, THEN IMMEDIATELY WRITE THE PARAGRAPHS. Do not wait until the last minute to begin this project. It is worth 100 points. As you begin, label the top of the paper with the chapter for which you are writing.
For each chapter, you are to write two paragraphs. The first paragraph should be a summary of the main events that happened in the chapter. (This may take more than five sentences!) For the second paragraph, you are to give an analysis. An analysis is simply your reaction to the chapter. (What did you like? What did you not like? What did you think about what happened?)
You should have a journal entry for each chapter.
THIS IS DUE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!
