- That you read.
- That you respond to the reading in a thoughtful and concise manner.
- That you staple/tape/glue all complimentary texts within your composition notebook.
- That you include this rubric at the start of each unit (page #1 of unit).
- That you include a table of contents at the start of each unit (page #2 of unit).
- That you pick six of the nine strategies below to focus on each unit.
- There are additional and more specific requirements for each strategy below. Please be sure to read and adhere to all strategies outlined on this document in order to receive credit.
- That you complete a theme statement at the end of reading the entire text.
- That you fill in the rubric accordingly (one strategy per row below; all points will remain the same).
- That you set and track an attainable reading goal (see more info below).
- About Reading Goal Setting: As we work our way through each unit, we will work toward building our reading stamina. At the beginning of each unit, you will set a goal for yourself --- something that you hope to improve upon as you read this semester (i.e. read without checking my snapchat for 20 minutes straight).
