Students respond to a specific question for each entry (short story)
Students use reading logs to maintain a written record of their personal reactions

they are learning.
The reading log is a place to speculate, ask questions, express opinions, and build
knowledge, giving students the ability to grow as strategic readers and independent
learners.
