Block Days

We reviewed for the test...scantron format with an emphasis on lesson 7 ... 60 questions total.

Friday:
Vocab Test
If you finish...read the lit book stories that are due next week

Next Tuesday (paper grade) you need to have your Outside Reading Book Approved. Remember it needs to be of an author that is a different ethnicity than you are and must be written, roughly, within your lifetime. The genres include: Memoir, Historical Fiction and Coming of Age. A few people asked for suggestions of books...check out the following websites...read about the books listed, peruse like you would if you were walking through a library or book store. Not all fit the guidelines. Some may not be appropriate for a school report. Email me if you have questions.

Historical Fiction: http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/historical-fiction
Coming of Age: http://www.librarything.com/tag/coming+of+age
Memoir: http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/memoir

Remember...the book needs to be chosen, not purchased or read by Tuesday...the assignment is due in NOVEMBER. Pick a book at your reading level and of a length you can manage with your other classes, extras, etc.

TRIVIA QUESTION FOR FRIDAY....

(answer MUST be emailed to yahoo account by NOON Saturday)...check back...others could be posted this weekend.

What are the TOP 5 BOOKS on the New York Time Best Seller list for Fiction adn Non-Fiction this week?
