Homework Reading and Responses
Every weeknight this school year, you have reading homework. For every night of reading, you are required to complete annotations of the assigned reading. 2-3 times a week you need to complete a written response to the assigned reading. On this page, you will find basic helps when it comes to reading, annotations, and responses. If you scroll down further, you will find a daily breakdown of the assigned readings and responses. |
Reading and Annotation Help
You always have English homework on weeknights. Monday through Friday you are required to read approximately ten pages of assigned reading. For each of those nights of reading, you must make a minimum of five annotations (which are basically thoughts you have while you're reading). Below, you'll find the handout about annotations as well as a handout about reading strategies to employ if you get stuck reading and/or want to avoid getting stuck reading.
Response Help
Responses are the final entries of each English Notebook entry. You complete them as homework after a couple of days of reading assigned text at home. As these are based on homework, you must submit these on time for credit. No late work regarding reading homework (these responses and your annotations) is accepted.
These Response prompts are written on the classroom board and there's a space for you to write down the prompt in your Reading Calendar. However, if you are absent or if you, for some reason, don't get the prompt written down, this list is for you so you can stay on top of things. They are organized by Day because that's the page you need to document it in your English Notebook.
Your Response entry should fill the fourteen lines in your English Notebook fully. It should be written in the third section of your English Notebook under the "Response" heading. Be careful not to get it confused with your in-class journals. If you need more space, you can add extra lines on the back of the page in the notes section.
Daily Calendar of Reading Homework and Responses
Please note that regardless of if there is a prompt for a response, each night of reading requires at least five full annotations. Because class is contingent upon students having done the reading, late annotations and late responses are not accepted.
All homework is to be done the date the Reading Calendar calls for and is due the next "day" of class (meaning all homework under "Day 2" is due "Day 3", all homework under "Day 3" will be due "Day 4" and so on).
