Reading Reflections Description and Sample
Mrs Keezer
First thing on your schedule is to go to Google Classroom and join the class AP Computer
Principles. The access code to join the class is uragaxv. The assignment below will be
submitted to me through this website.
For each chapter in the book Blown to Bits, you are required to fill out a “reading
reflections” entry. The questions are generic, and are not specific to the particular chapter
or even this particular book. They are, in fact, the kinds of questions you should be
thinking about as you read any serious writing, as these questions give you an opportunity
to reflect on and carefully think about what you are reading. Don’t just carelessly type

including spelling, punctuation, and grammar, is important. However, these reflections are
not formal essays, so you don’t need to think about multi-paragraph structure and “thesis
statements” and that sort of thing. Write clearly so that what you want to say comes
through, and make your points in a logical way, but that’s the only requirement that I
impose on “structure.” The four questions that are on the reading reflection are given
below, with some sample answers so that you can see the level of answer that I am
expecting. Your goal should be to have answers of similar depth to those given below,
although this will vary somewhat—sometimes you might have a lot to say about how the
reading relates to your personal experiences, and other times there might not be much.
The answers below are for Chapter 8 in Blown to Bits. You...
