    Assessment - SSR Reflection: In seventh grade reading, students are required to complete a SSR Reflection. This assignment is posted on Schoology for all students early in each marking period and is divided into two parts: part one is due at midpoint, part two is due one week before the end of the marking period. Students can access the reflection as many times as necessary and should work on completing it throughout the course of their reading and marking period. Students - be sure to read directions carefully. Responses need to be your BEST ANSWER as you portray an accurate analysis of your novel using complete sentences and POQ.
