 Top Ten List of
Common Reading Log Problems
10. Your Report had no
title page.
9. New Vocabulary list only
had a couple of new words.

You should have at least 5 new words

or the article is too easy.
8. Report was too hard to read.

It was too messy, font size too

small, or too crowded.
 7. Students copy and pasted the
articles into their report or they typed
out their articles.

I want to see the ORIGINAL article because I

want to see if you made any notes/writings
on it.
6. Many students wrote Korean
definitions, not English.
5. Students didn’t hand in
their articles!!!
4. Report was not computer
typed!!!
 3. Students had problems with the
reading strategies.
Many used the same reading strategy for
each article, didn’t title their strategy, or
didn’t understand how to use the strategy.

Example:
Reading Strategy: New Vocabulary
There were many new words in the article and so I had
a hard time understanding it. Some of the new words

were cosmetics, kohl, belladonna and mercury.

2.Many students copied sentences
from the article for their answers.

You must use your own words, your own

sentences. Using sentences from the
articles is called COPYING and it’s ILLEGAL.
1. Many important facts were
missing in the ‘list of
important facts’.

Don’t worry… we will work on finding

important facts today in class.
Now to today’s reading
“CAN YOU SMELL THAT?”
 Can you Smell That?
While reading…
* Circle any words you don’t know.
* Make notes while you read along.
After reading…
* Add Korean translations to the words
you circled.
