Independent Reading 2011 -2012

Each month a book will be chosen to be read and a special project will be completed.

Some months the students will make the book selection. Other times the genre will be chosen by the teacher. A few examples may include mystery, fantasy, historical fiction, biography, and non-fiction. Some months the projects will be selected by the teacher and during other months, the students will make a choice.

Select an historical fiction book to read and  please have it approved. The project is a book talk.  It is due on Thursday, May 31st. Please plan to have the book with you.

The project includes:    

the name and author of the book

the main characters

a summary (not more than a page and should include the narrative elements - setting, main characters, problem, and solution ) to be collected and not read

Choose an interesting, funny, or exciting part of the story to read. It should encourage others to want to read the book. It shouldn't be more than two pages long.

Prepare some information to tell your audience about the selection you are reading

Practice reading your selection at home out loud. Be sure to read loudly, clearly, and with expression.

 Be sure your name is on the summary.

 Happy reading!
