Moving your reading responses from your notebook online has so many benefits:
1. You now have a real audience! Your thoughts aren't contained to a notebook that no one looks at. Curiously enough, it causes student work to improve!
2. I can track your progress throughout the year! This will help me see how you are improving, what your strengths and weaknesses are and in turn have more meaningful conferences and lessons.
3. Blogs create an online community of readers. You can begin and participate in conversations about books!
A blog post is due every Wednesday. That means I'll be checking Wednesday morning to see who posted on time. This counts as a homework grade.
I will be teaching into how to write reading responses well in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more details. For now, let's get these blogs up and running so we can get started!
