Reading Homework

Every week students are expected to read 10 min. per day for at least four out of five days during the week.  They must then write two or three sentences summary of what they have read.  Students may read a novel, a magazine, or even the newspaper, but they must write a summary about whatever they have read.  I will collect them the following Monday.
