I'm thinking about reading right now. I know that students have various assignments to read and that reading is at times lost on them. However, reading can stimulate our brains to begin thinking about assignments and other projects. It's actually part of my daily diet---reading a little bit of a book, journal or even trade magazine. I get grumpy, when I don't make the time to read. I read for a living--in terms of the need to read scholarly books and articles. And, then I also assess student work through a close reading of their assignments.

This is just a quick reminder: crack open a book!
