Reading Conferences--Week 2

The following rubric is what I will be using to evaluate your second reading conference.  Because of state testing, these conferences will take about two weeks.

Preparation		Reading Pace		Questions of the Week		Textual Evidence
Are you keeping up with highlighting your text and class work?		Are you on track with your reading? Do you know your pacing goals?
