Book Reports

Book Reports are assigned periodically through the school year in various genres. A different response form or project is to be completed along with the reading of the book. The genre, book title selections, report guidelines, and rubric are discussed in class. Each student is responsible for fulfilling the guidelines. Extra response forms/guidelines will be available in the classroom. Initially, students are to select a quality read, on grade level, or above grade level, in the assigned genre and get their book approved by their teacher. The students are always free to use my class library and Montgomery's Library to select an appropriate book. The expectation is that the book report is handed in on the due date. Five points a day will be deducted from the student's grade until the book report is handed in to the teacher. This happens on occasion, but it's not the norm.
