Earth Abides Reading Schedule

 

As you read, pay attention not only to the content, but also to the vocabulary. Every class, you will be asked to read the next chapters indicated. Please READ ahead whenever possible, especially if you consider yourself a slower reader. There will be reading quizzes to assess your reading. Remember, the best reading is when you are focused. Turn off the TV and music, and ask yourself what you read as you finish each page and section. If you can not mentally summarize what you read, go back and do it again.

 

Each assignment is 30-40 pages, though it is fast reading. NOTE: if you do read ahead, jot down notes in your NB so you can refresh for the quizzes.

 

Other assignments will be given but are not listed here with the reading.
