Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: Starting Line

All right.  I did get up before the readathon started, but I'm currently administering an AP Literature practice test.  For the next 3-4 hours I'll mainly be grading papers and giving out time cues.  I actually really like to administer this test, since I seem to get a lot more done during this quiet time than any other!

Here's my goal for the readathon today.   As some of you know, I have a 15+ reading list right now--that's ridiculous, even for me.  I'm going to rotate my way through them to try to knock off a couple of them.  As I'm reading though, I decided I would make myself grade 1 AP essay for every hour of reading.  That way I should have up to 24 essays graded by the time we finish, right?  I can pull double duty, right?  I'm kind of hoping.  Honestly, I can't wait to get started!

Well, that's my story.  I'll be back to join you all soon!  Best wishes as you get reading.

      Thanks! It should be okay. I have a tendency to not do well if I just read straight through, so this will make settling in a lot easier. :)

      Thanks! It was a pretty busy morning, but it sure made it easier for me to chill out and just read this afternoon and evening. Now, I just have to get back to it! :)

      Yes. True. I'm so close with many of them that it will make for a real harvest here pretty soon!
