For my C layer 1 I chose to annotate all the chapters, do four reading logs, and create an unknown words test. All in all I am happy with what I choose. In order form easiest to hardest the test would have to be the easiest and the annotations would have to be the hardest, leaving the reading logs in the middle. The test was the easiest to manage with the annotations since if I saw an unfamiliar word in the test all I would have to do is just box it and continue annotating. Therefore, I could multi task and progress on two projects at once. Next, would be the reading guides. The only reason these would pose a problem difficulty wise, is when I would wait to complete them, instead of doing them right after I read the chapter. This would pose a problem, causing me to have to go back and reread parts of the chapter. Finally, annotating... This was the most painful process by far. Considering the fact that the text is so small, the chapters are so long, and the book feels like it drags on forever. What would normally take thirty minutes to read a chapter, takes 50 minutes to read a chapter and annotate. Yet the perks of annotating allow you to grasp the story better and notice things that you would normally pass up. I chose the same exact projects to do the next time around in the C layer 2.
Reading times:
2/26- read Nervous Conditions- 50 min + annotate 2/27- read Nervous Conditions- 55 min 2/28- read + annotate Nervous Conditions- 50 min + annotate
Chapters:
3-6
Make sure you think the annotating is worth it - now is your chance to change your second C layer if you think annotating was not the right choice.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think the vocab test was easy, too. I did the reading guides for each chapter and it really helps to do each one as you finish the chapter and it saves you time.
