Dear Readers,
Reader's Workshop is a time for you and me to explore books that are
interesting to us. Together, you and I will choose books for you to read. You
will regularly write letters to me and to your classmates about what you are
reading in your literary journal notebook.
In your letters, talk with us about
what you are reading. Tell us
what you notice and
think about your book. Each letter should include
|
|
the author and title of the book in correct form. Be sure to underline NL the title of your book. Your
letters should also include a short summary of the book that shows you have
read the book thoroughly. Finally, your letter should include an answer to one
of the questions on the question list. Please
date each letter in the upper right corner of the page. DO NOT TEAR THE LETTERS OUT OF THE NOTEBOOK
Reader's Workshop will proceed in two week cycles. You must read AT LEAST one book every two weeks. You should
write a letter each week. One week during
the cycle, you should write to me and one week to a classmate. Two letters is
only the minimum requirement. Feel free to write more often about your book if
you have reflections or questions. When you write a letter to me, put
your-notebook_______________________. We
will answer your letters with our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. In
essence, we will talk like READERS!
Your two required letters will be graded for concise summaries, rich
content, and appropriate letter form.
Your collections of letters will
serve as a record of your growth as
|
|
a reader. Write
often and thoughtfully! Happy
A fellow reader,
PS: Remember ONE BOOK EVERY TWO WEEKS IS THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTIII
