Outside Reading Book Project and Due Date

Tuesday, as you know, you are to bring your new outside reading book to class. As you read, you will track three or more elements that, to your mind, are essential for a book to be a good read: for example, surprise, complex characters, or detailed settings.

As you read, you will mark with a Post-it a minimum of ten passages that fulfill (or boldly don't fulfill!) these elements. On the Post-it, you will write a short paragraph describing how the passage meets your criterion.

Your book and Post-its should be completed by Wednesday, October 12.

The week before your reading is due, we will begin to prepare to create a podcast in which you will review your book for other students, family, and friends. Details to follow.
