Hello Parents and Patriots! We have begun reading Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Students will explore Chapters 1-3 and engage in a variety of reading strategies. We will visit the Media Center for an orientation on Friday August 31, 2012. Students will be responsible for reading 18-hours outside of class and keeping a log of their progress. In addition, students will complete two card catalog assignments on the books they read. Parents please work with your students in completing assignments. There was a major project over the weekend and many students failed to complete the assignment. The "LOTS Dictionary" was a two-day in class assignment that extended to the weekend. This project counts as a test grade (40% of your students grade). READING SKILLS 8th Grade, will begin reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. This science fiction story follows a main character Charlie who is mentally handicapped. Students will engage in several pre-reading activies before beginning the text. If you have any questions or concerns please email me at [email protected] |
