write a reading log about a particular chapter. This was beyond a doubt a very difficult assignment for me. It involved reading a book I neither liked nor understood completely, and the writing logs seemed to never end. It was kind of a drag writing every week, and I usually procrastinated until the day it was due. The saving grace of the assignment was that the reading logs were informal, and for that I am grateful to my professor. I suspect that a major point in having regular logs was for all

Analysis 1. In my novel Matched the major conflict is mostly resolved. I think this because the main conflict in the story is that she can't choose who she wants to be with as well as hiding everything she knows that since the society has made its existence completely and utterly illegal.

This changes the plot drastically because now Cassia

Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, at first glance, is an incredibly dark read. However, that trait evaporates after one's first cursory read.

From the time that I could read, my parents were pushing me to excel in school and do the best that I could. This included reading, which quickly became my favorite part of school.

Coming from a math background, reading was never a subject that I was enthusiastic about teaching. However, I realized that my attitude towards a subject greatly impacted my young learners. For the past few years, I made it my mission to become a better reading teacher. I attended as many professional developments that targeted reading instruction as possible. I took the curriculum home over the summer and met with my co-teacher to reflect on which lessons went well and which were challenging. We
