For those of you who think a week is too little time to read a novel, I want to share with you a project I'm doing this week with my seniors:
I don't read much fiction. Much of my reading consists of teacher books, news, or finding opinion pieces to share with my classes. My goal for the week, as I complete the challenge along with you:
My goal: I want to read Star Wars: Episode 1 cover to cover.
My 3 action steps: 1. I will watch less tv. 2. I will read at least 30 pages daily ( so I can finish this week). 3. I will carry the book with me to take advantage of any down time.
My progress:
Sat.- With everyone gone, I read 34 pages this afternoon.
Sun.- Stayed up late to read 31 pages.
Mon.- Read 40 pages this afternoon.
Tues.- Read 40+ pages after breakfast. Hope to pass 200 tonight!
Wed.- Closing in on 300!
Thur.- 45 Pages today; book done!
Fri.- Watched Episode 1... Will start new book.
I'll post a reflection a bit later.
