What's Happening in Reading????

At the conclusion of this week, both reading classes will have wrapped up their unit tests. I am trying to start preparing students for what finals are like when they are in high school. For unit tests I am taking it slow - testing over numerous stories, but in a condensed form. I'm really trying to reiterate to students the importance of SAVING ALL PAPERS from a unit and using those to study.
DGS will be a wake up call to those students who aren't known for their organizational skills! Finals cover an ENTIRE semester of classwork therefore students need to be organized and paying attention in their classes.

As we come to an end with our first reading units, students will begin their first novel soon.
Regular reading classes (periods 3,8) will be reading The Weekend Was Murder Advanced Reading (period 6) will read Fahrenheit 451

Project Challenge students will read 1984 students will use class time for reading and completing discussion worksheets and PC morning time to discuss the assigned reading for the week.
