Lesson 3: Reader Response Journal
A Reader Response Journal traces your personal connection to a novel. In it you can reflect on how the novel makes you think or feel. The writing in a response journal is meant to be informal and personal, and so will not be evaluated on formal conventions and structures. The rubric below will be used for assessment of your passages: (rubric from the BC Performance Standards). Look at Sample #1 to see an example that is meeting expectations and #2 to see an example that exceeds expectations.
You will be required to write 9 journal entries (completion mark) in your first assignment and then will be asked to submit your best two in your second assignment. The 9 entries need to be spread out throughout your book. You may choose to write an entry at the beginning or end of each chapter or after major events.
