2nd Quarter AR requirement

This is the second quarter AR assignment.

525 pages and 20 points by December 16th

Book level 5.0 I can change this as I see the need.

You must take the test on the book for it to count

We are currently reading The Pearl which is 85 pages and The Outsiders will also count for the page and point total.  The Outsiders was 180 pages.  That gives the students 265 pages.  We will also be reading another novel in class before the deadline.  The AR points for The Outsiders is 7 and The Pearl is 4 and we will be reading another novel before the deadline. I have many novels on CD and your child can use it for the AR assignment.

Please contact me if you have any questions. 

Lit assignment

In Lit class we are writing one word summaries for the The Outsiders.

The word that you think summaries the book goes in the first line.

After that sentence you need to give a brief summary of the book.

The second paragraph is your first example from the book that tells about your word.  This paragraph goes on to tell about about an example from the book. After the example you will then have your

nterpretation of the example.  After this you need to make a connection to the example.  You will do this for 3 body paragraphs.  The closing paragraph begins with what you learned from this book.  Then you what you think about the book.

Hope this helps

Extra Credit @@@@@@@@@

Mrs. Render handed out extra credit.  I hope your students do the extra credit.
