JOURNALER – Write two paragraphs that summarize and respond to the reading
Your first job is to prepare a brief summary of today’s reading. Effective readers can visualize what they read and then describe the events with details and specifics. In the first paragraph, begin with a lead that generalizes the action of the assigned reading, and then provide details about the plot complications and character conflicts that provide insight into the reading. Feel free to base your summary around an important quotation from your novel. End your summary with the dominant theme from the selection. This will serve as a springboard for your journal response. Please write at least seven sentences for the first paragraph.
In the second paragraph, reflect on the day’s reading. Consider the theme from the assigned reading and how it relates to you. Have you been in similar a situation? Can you empathize with any of the characters? Does the reading remind you of someone? Does the setting remind you of a place you have visited? Please write at least five sentences for the second paragraph.
