Guidelines for Reading from Assigned Texts

Group Work: Class Administration

We will end each class period with a reading. A member of the group in charge of class administration for the day will pick a selection from the day's assigned reading. The student may choose to read whatever section he or she desires. It is expected that the reading will last three to five minutes. It is also expected that the student will choose a continuous reading selection rather than three or four excerpts from different areas of the text. There will be no questions after the reading. The student is not expected to give a rationale for why she or he chose the selection. It is suggested the student read a selection that has personal interest for one reason or another. It is recommended that the student practice reading before hand to have some idea of how long the reading will last.
