Reading Journal
HW: RJ 1.1 TLT p. 1-15
It's the second day of school and first period is off to a great start. Students came into class and wrote down the agenda. We named our blog, which as you can see is Nakada's Nerdz. I called roll and filled out the seating chart. Students made a pile at the aisle of course outlines which I collected. ALMOST everyone turned them in. I discussed with the class how they can earn points for perfection (perfect attendance and perfect homework submission) and rewards like doughnuts or pizza. YUM!
Then we started our reading journals:
Student Name's Reading Journal
Reading Log
Title Author Date Started A / C
1. The Lightning Thief Rick Riordan 8/14/13
The A/C stands for abandoned or completed. Then we started reading The Lightning Thief as a class and set up the actual reading journals like this:
1.1 8/14/13 The Lightning Thief p. 1-15
We read aloud and discussed the beginning of The Lightning Thief. We talked about the homework which is to read pages 1-15 of The Lightning Thief and to write a summary which should include the characters, setting and conflict.
That is all we had time for today!
Excellent first week so far! Remember to do your reading journal!
ReplyDeleteI hope you Nerdz had a restful and awesome weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ms. Nakada and Nerdz, for having me in your class. You guys seem to be very enthusiastic about reading, and this is a great quality to master! I'm looking forward to hearing all of the comments about the books each of you will be reading this year!

Love the blog name - Nakada's Nerdz! And I *love* all the Percy Jackson books. Did you know there are two other series that tie into Camp Halfblood and its characters? Right now I'm reading from the Kane Chronicles that are based on Egyptian mythology. And then there's the Heroes of Olympus series that shares a lot with the Percy Jackson tales. Enjoy this year, can't wait to hear what else you'll be reading. Ms. G
