Starting this week each of you will begin reading a book of your choice at home. My hope is that you pick a book that is both challenging and exciting to read. You will be required to read around seventy pages a week. Please pick a book that is at your level. I do not want to have students who are severely struggling to understand the vocabulary in their books. It should be filled with words that you recognize 85% of the time. I want you to enjoy the time you spend with the book, so that you can fulfill the mini-project that will accompany the end of your book report.
In class, I will show you a slew of options that will replace the old style of writing a few paragraphs about your book. Once I have an idea of which mini-project options are the most popular, I will post the rubrics for each mini-project to the blog. You may still write an expository essay about your book if you wish to do so. Here are some of the options: Book in a Box, Mobile Book Project, Book Timeline, Shoebox Diorama, Collage Book Project, Movie Poster, Graphic Chapter Book Project, Board Game, Create a Test Book Project, and still more options that will be revealed in class.
