Hello. I love books, and I love reading. Now as an English teacher I do tons of reading, but not always books. But this year I am going to commit to reading 20 books this school year. If I require my students to do it, so should I. No excuses.
As I read I am going to be writing reading journal entries, just like my students. Mine are going to be right here.
I know how busy high school gets, so I am going to lead by example. I am a firm believer that reading enriches our lives and challenges our concepts. So for those reasons, we want our students to be life-long readers. Life doesn't slow down after high school, so it's important for reading to become a part of our culture while we still have teachers to encourage us (P.S. you're also being graded). So, keep me accountable.
This blog should give you an example for your reading journal entries. It can also give you an idea for books to choose. I will only be picking books from our library, so every book you see here will be available to you.
Feel free to comment on any of the posts
