- 5-page typed reading response log. DO NOT write an essay! All I want is for you to transfer your daily reading responses into a typed format. See the email I previously sent with the instructions. This will be collected and graded. Late assignments will not be accepted. Please print (not just email) the paper. I need a hard copy of your work.
- Handwritten or typed reading response log. It can be a copy of the paper you turn in to me, that's fine. This will be your copy and you will use it the first 2 or so weeks of school as we learn how to read literature like a professor.
- Speaking of How To Read Literature Like a Professor, you need your own copy of the book by Tuesday, Sept. 13 (please note that we are off from school for a holiday on Monday Sept. 12). Please make sure you purchase the revised edition. Used copies are fine, as long as they are in good or better condition. You will ALSO need The Best American Short Stories of the Century by 9/13. Please don't show me your Amazon shipping notice You need to have the books, in hand, on Tuesday 9/13.
- Your summer reading book. Your copy should be annotated. Stuck with so many post-its you can barely see the actual text. You should have read this book with your eyes, your mind, and your pen.
- Your supplies:
- Two composition notebooks (1 for notes/vocab and 1 for reading response)
- Blue/black and colored pens (nothing too light, these eyes are tired)
- Post-it-Notes
- Lined index cards (large size, please)
- Loose leaf paper
- Highlighters (varied colors)
- 2-pocket folder (for portfolio work)
- Tissues
- Hand sanitizer
- A great attitude. A strong work ethic. Lots of energy, patience, and humor.
I am really looking forward to seeing you Thursday Sept. 8!
