Rules for Sustained Silent Reading

In order to help things run smoothly, consider the following rules for sustained silent reading days:

1. No talking.
2. No sleeping. If you get a little dozy, get up and move to another seat. Ask to get a drink of water.
3. Double Entry Journal: I'm going to ask that you keep your double entry journal in your spiral notebook. You may have it out on SSR days in order to work on this aspect of your reading project.
4. No talking. Yes, I've already said that.
5. Unpreparedness - You're losing your points. For the purpose of this class, grab a book of short stories, Rolling Stone magazine, or one of my other browse-able books.
