Class Tasks
Class Announcements On-line GradesI will enter grades on Wednesday and/or Thursday each week.
First Teaching Sequence: How to Write a Book Report.Read From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg. The reading should be complete by Monday, August 29, and you may need to read outside of the classroom to keep up. The book report will be due on Friday, September 2. There will be individual assignments to help you do well on the book report. These will be done during class.
First Independent Book Report - September 23The first independent book report is due on September 23. It will follow the same plot-line report form we used for From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.
Book Report Requirements1) Bopoks must be worth at least 3 AR points.
2) Books must be at least 100 pages long. 3) Books must not be below the bottom number of your ZPD. I will not accept book reports over graphic novels including Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Diary. . . books do not have good plot lines so writing books reports which ask students to identify parts of a plot line is extremely difficult. Students may read them for AR points but not for written book reports. Book Report Due DatesFRIST NINE WEEKS
September 23 SECOND NINE WEEKS October 28 THIRD NINE WEEKS January 20 February 24--This report will not be accepted late. FOURTH NINE WEEKS April 5 Discussion Topics Class Files
