Independent ReadingDirections: Choose a book for Independent Reading. It should be one you haven't read before, that is over 100 pages and not a children's book. Print or copy the blank reading log. Read 25 pages/week & record it in your reading log. Bring your log to class on Fridays for me to check. Once a month, whether you're done with the book or not, type a 500-1,000 word summary of the book so far. Submit it to Turnitin.com. You only get one submission, and the percent matching must be between 0%-5%. Quotes are not necessary.
