<p>In 8th grade our English teacher assigned required reading logs where you had to read for 180 minutes a week (which is about 25 minutes a day) and have your parent sign it. I hated them to death, so I always lied and got away with it. My parents didn't even notice or care.</p>
<p>But seriously, what's the point of reading logs? Many people lie on them and they hate them. I wanted to stab myself instead.</p>
<p>What's your experience with reading logs?</p>
<p>Sparknotes = <3</p>
<p>In 7th and 8th grade we were required to read 30 minutes a day, which is 210 minutes a week.</p>
<p>Bah, there were nothing, I actually enjoyed doing some of them. We had to summarize a 200+ pg novel and pick a prompt and write 5-6 sentences for each. I wrotes 3 paragraphs for the summary and 1.5 paragraph(s) for the prompt. It’s good for Honors, AP, and “Accelerated” English.</p>
<p>I hated doing them because while I would read avidly, I never stopped after 30 minutes to “complete my assignment” and write some stupid summary about my book. Forcing someone to do what should be a naturally picked up pleasurable activity never helps people acquire a liking for the thing.</p>
<p>I hate those things. It stopped after 2nd grade for me.</p>
<p>Except in Spanish 1 I did have Practice logs. Which basically were the same thing.</p>
<p>They teach the gist of your BSing skills</p>
<p>Have some fun with your assignment. This is what I would do…</p>
<p>“Reading Log, Stardate 82010.14. After three hours of cramming on a Sunday night, it appears that this Godot figure might or might not exist. Further investigation is underway. However, it seems as if another problem has arisen. A certain Prince of Denmark is contemplating the very nature of life. Although it seems as he is suicidal, I cannot draw a definite conclusion until the following week.”</p>
<p>“Reading log supplemental, It appears that William Golding must have failed science at Oxford University for he exhibits an apparent lack of awareness that diverging lenses used to correct nearsightedness cannot be used to create a fire”</p>
