Outside Reading Calendar

Overview:
While we spend a minimum of 30 minutes a week during class reading, you need to be reading your Outside Reading book around 10-20 minutes a night. I keep your English homework to a minimum under the expectation that you are exploring the reading landscape of choice outside of school.

Due Dates:
October 6

November 17

Ongoing Activities:
1.  Conversations with me regarding your progress.

2.  Graffiti Wall

3.  Book talks in small groups

4. Book talks with whole class.

Report - Choice Formats:
1.  Book trailer using iMovie. Trailer should be around 2 minutes and should provide an overview of the story without plot spoilers. Trailers serve to introduce the book to potential readers much like a film trailer does for movies.

2.  Goodreads Review:  Following the same format as your summer reading review, book reviews are posted to your Goodreads page.

Summative Assessment:
December  - We will chart your book ladder.
