Summer Reading Reflection

Now that we have discussed the summer reading assignment and you have re-read your summer reading essay, it is time to determine how you can improve your writing on essays this year. Please create a blog post of two paragraphs called Summer Reading Analysis. 

To help you with this assignment, please refer to the summer reading essay rubric and the Google Presentation we viewed in class.

Remember that for "Conventions," teachers looked at 3 things:
1. Pronouns - no first- or second-person. So, no "I," "me," "we," or "you"!
2. Verb tense - writing about literature should be in the present tense.
3. Informal language - there should be no contractions, abbreviations, or slang in your essays.


You will be graded on this reflection as follows:
  • 9-10: thoughtful, accurate reflection on steps student should take to improve
  • 7-8: thoughtful reflection on steps student should take to improve
  • 6: attempt to reflect on steps student should take to improve
  • 0-5: post is not complete or demonstrates little thought 

DUE:
Friday, 9/27
