Book Responses
You will be exposed to a variety of reading material in class: textbooks, Social Studies newspapers, reference materials, leveled books, Battle books, and others. You will also be required to read books at home, and you will be responding to these books in many different ways. You will be given three - four weeks for each book response. You will be given the assignment for each book response ONE WEEK before it is due. The reason you do not get the assignment earlier is that I want you to focus on ENJOYING THE READING! I have found that if students have the assignment while they are reading the book, they focus on the product, and they do not allow themselves to just read the book. So, when you are assigned a book genre, you will have two- three weeks to read the book, and then one week to complete the assignment. If you ever have questions about acceptable books, just ask me!
