Do you like to read?
How much time do you spend reading?
Do you prefer a kindle, or “real” books? Why?
Are you a good reader? Explain what makes you a good or bad reader.
How do you stay informed about what’s going on in the world?
What subjects do you like to read about the most?
About how many books do you own?
What is/are your favorite (book)s?
Do you have a favorite book character?
What genre do you like reading the most?
What are your strengths as a reader?

Share your completed creation with the class by saving the document as a jpeg or png. Taking a screenshot of the document or a photo should work. Upload it to the Blog using the insert (circle plus). Do not attach.

Part 2: Explain what you most want your peers to understand about your card. Then, briefly discuss how your attitude toward reading affects your life now, and how it may affect your role as a future teacher. How might you positively influence your future students? If your experiences are negative, is there anything you can do now that can turn things around? Use about 250-350 words.

Be sure to encourage your fellow students by leaving a comment on their work.

Reminder: Your blog posts are public so your classmates will see them. If you post yours early, you will serve as a role model for other students.
