Top Ten List of Common Reading Log Problems
10. Your Report had no title page.
9. New Vocabulary list only had a couple of new words.
You should have at least 5 new words or the article is too easy.
8. Report was too hard to read.
It was too messy, font size too small, or too crowded.
7. Students copy and pasted the articles into their report or they typed out their articles.
I want to see the ORIGINAL article because I want to see if you made any notes/writings on it.
6. Many students wrote Korean definitions, not English.
5. Students didn’t hand in their articles!!!
4. Report was not computer typed!!!
3. Students had problems with the reading strategies. Many used the same reading strategy for each article, didn’t title their strategy, or didn’t understand how to use the strategy.
Example: Reading Strategy: New Vocabulary There were many new words in the article and so I had a hard time understanding it. Some of the new words were cosmetics, kohl, belladonna and mercury.
2.Many students copied sentences from the article for their answers.
You must use your own words, your own sentences. Using sentences from the articles is called COPYING and it’s ILLEGAL.
1. Many important facts were missing in the ‘list of important facts’.
Don’t worry… we will work on finding important facts today in class.
