Week of Sept. 8 - 12:
This week, students finished their Photo Bio essay, started Wordly Wise 9 (WW9) Lesson 1 (due Wed., 9/17; test 9/19), and were assigned their first independent novel project due Tuesday, October 7th.
On Wednesday, Jackie Partch, from the Multnomah County Library School Corp, came to our classroom to do a banned/challenged books presentation called "Feasting On Forbidden Fruit." Most students were surprised to learn about the wide array of titles that have been banned or challenged over the years. It was a great way to kick off independent reading!
The Independent Novel Project choices attached below were designed to reach a wide array of abilities and interests. Please pick a novel that both interests and challenges you. It should be new to you -- not your favorite book that you read over and over again. Students are welcome to submit proposals for other projects, but all projects must be approved by me. These projects are done outside of school. They should represent your best effort and reflect your knowledge of the book you selected. See assignment details below:
Independent Novel Project #1
I am enjoying getting to know you better through your Photo Bio essays. Lots of fun reading ahead for me this week.
Back-To-School-Night is Thursday, September 18th from 6:30pm to 8:15pm. I am looking forward to meeting your parents/guardians.
