Summer Reading Assignment #2

I just wanted to update parents and students that I have moved the due date for the second summer reading assignment to Monday, September 23rd.

Today I am talking with all classes about expectations for the assignment to be handed in on Monday.

Period 6:

Students should pick 2 different questions to answer. The best answers will have 3 full paragraphs and use textual support (cited with a page number).

We used some time today and will continue tomorrow discussing which questions will lend themselves to these types of responses.

Periods 2, 3, and 7:

Students should pick 2 different questions to answer. The best answers will have 2 full paragraphs and use clear examples from their book as support.

All classes:

The story map is not mandatory for the second summer reading assignment. If students have already completed this portion of the assignment, they can submit it for extra credit.

I am much more interested in the students generating written responses to the questions over some of the more "artsy" projects of the story map portion.

Please email me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this change.

The homework requiring students to gather a list of 3 independent reading books with book reviews is still due tomorrow, September 20th.
