New Independent Reading Journals

We have started using our independent reading journals. Students have been given the instructions on how to use these and it is a way of them being accountable for what they are reading during independent reading time in class. As well, it helps them to practice their writing skills and to work on developing higher level thinking and assessing their own learning. These journals are due in at the end of the day every Friday. I will read them over the weekend and respond to each student individually. The ideas of what they can write about are posted inside the front cover of their journals.
