READING+LOG



=Step One=

Set up Your Reading Log
It's important to establish a regular reading habit. If you're not reading regularly already, you need to start doing so! Aim for reading at least thirty minutes a day. You'll use a Google Spreadsheet to track your reading habits. Your reading log will be part of your daily grades.
 * Go go google.com and log in to your account using your gmail username and password.
 * Get the template: Click "Use this template. Google will open the document in your Google Docs account (one of the many tools you have access to with your gmail username and password).
 * It's hard to believe, but we're in the third week of school! If you've read any (and can remember) the first two weeks, add your reading.
 * Click a cell until you see the cursor, and type.
 * Record the **date** you read, **number of minutes you read, what you read** (the title--or if it's online, copy and paste the URL). The last column allows you to copy and paste the URL to any reading responses you've published online. You, obviously, won't have published something every time you read, so this column will be blank for several of your entries.
 * Note: The spreadsheet automatically tallies how many minutes you read weekly. Our goal is **150 minutes weekly** (30 minutes five days a week). The picture belows shows the spreadsheet.
