03.10 - Reading and Logs

We started today's class by looking at and evaluating a reading log that responds to one of the prompts used with our Into the Wild logs (see handouts). Everyone had a chance to read, assess, and critique this log and then we came together as a class and had everyone rate the log in a four corners activity. We rent around to each group and heard how and why they assessed the log as they did.

I then explained how I would assess the log (just below a 92, it focuses more on the readers perspectives than Goodall's, but does use and discuss quotes). Following this, everyone had time to work on their reading (up to page 24) and complete a reading log. While everyone was working on this, I met with people individually to discuss the goals that they created in class yesterday.

We used the last ten minutes of the class to discuss people's impressions of the book so far (see the section 01 questions in this presentation to get a sense of our discussion).
