Danielle's reading survey

Danielle's Reading Survey

What words pop into your mind when you think of reading? why?

When I think of reading many words pop into my mind. Relaxing, sad, boring, exciting... The list goes on There are a couple words that pop up first before all the others. When I think of reading I think of being peaceful. The word peaceful pops into my head because when I read im not bothered. I get lost in my book and forget about everything else. The second word that comes to mind is cozy. Before I pick up a book and start reading I have to make sure I'm comfortable. Cozy enough to sit and read without getting up and interupting the story. Usually curling up to enjoy my book with a large warm blanket and in a quiet place. Soothing is the third word that that pops into my head when I think of reading. I find when I read my mood changes. I get in a mood where I am calm and very relaxed. Reading isnt my happy place or favorite thing to do, but when I do read I forget about everything aroudn me and get lost in my book.

As a reader how have you grown/changed since I last taught you?

The last time you taught me was in grade 9 so quite some time ago. From what I can remember I was a typical grad 9 girl who really enjoyed reading those sappy, romantic novels. I chose books with a predictable happy ending and books that put me in a good mood. These days, romantic books aren't my thing. I enjoy books witha little more information and get you thinking. Not the litle kid picture books but the books with more of a story. Stories that question me as a reader and aren't so easy to figure out. Eventhough i'm not into romance books at the moment, I am always looking for suggestions and will read any type of book.

What is your goal as a reader for this semester?

My goal as reader for this semester is to actually get into my books and enjoy reading more. I would like to be more interested and feel as though I wanna read. Finding more interesting books would definitely help. Not picking the same type of novel with the same ending and same story. I'd like to start reading different types of books and recieve suggestions from other people. This semester I will push myself to work harder and do better in the english course. By the end of this semester i will enjoy reading and start reading new books.

Techno Paragraph!

As of right now I do own and iphone that i use all the time. I enjoy being connected with friends and family over the internet. On my phone i have a few apps. I use Instagram, Pintrest but not a fan of twitter! At home I use a laptop to finish school work. I would prefer using my phone at school over my laptop though. Eventually i will buy an ipad and bring it to school. I dont own an e-reader. My blog was made recently in class and i will conture to use it for as long as it's needed. In my opinion blogs are a great idea. They are a great way to stay connected with friends from school and see what everyone is up to and interested in. Using the internet and blogs in class makes class feel different. Class does'nt really feel like class and it is a great feeling. I look forward to see what other assignments and activities you have planned for us this semester.
