Guidelines for Jurassic Park weekly assignment:
Jurassic Park instructions:
You must read 40 pages a week.
You must define at least 20 words from the section (40 pages) you are reading. You must hand write the word, list the page and paragraph the word was used, look up the word and then use your own words to tell me what you think the word means ( after reading all of the possible definitions).
Everything is to be handwritten, no cut and paste allowed!
These are due every Tuesday. They do not have to be science words. Any word that you are unsure of you should define. If you don’t think there are any words you don’t know, define words that are higher level or have multiple meanings.
You must also summarize your reading. Every 10 pages you should stop, reflect on what you just read and write 2 sentences that sum up the most important things that were discussed or that occurred.
You should carry your Reading essentials and your Jurassic Park (JP) book with you daily. In this way, if you work faster than your peers, you can use your time more efficiently and complete your reading (when time allows) during class. I will have dictionaries available for you to borrow.
I may make time on Fridays to have a little “book club” where we discuss topics from the book and possibly take a quiz to make sure everyone is keeping up.
