Reader Response Journal:


Use a companion notebook to record notes, answer questions, list vocabulary words and express your own personal reflections as prompted by the questions and activity suggestions in this web-based reading guide.

You might title it: "My Rule Book" or "My Road Warrior Journal" or one of your own ideas.

At the TOP always record the pages and chapters read.
