Semester Two Outside Readsing Book...


Some students have asked me about Semester Two OR books...as they wish to get started.

Semester Two OR is a Biography about a Historically Important Person.

Your OR Title MUST be chosen by the week of February 7th and the report - is due April 4th. The document is on the papers page of the website. We will work together in the library one block day to learn about and begin to develop our Annotated Resources Set document. The work day will be in March so that you have time to have a lot of your reading completed and can work on finishing up the report.

If you wish to get a title approved by me, please send me the title and author ... a link to a Borders.com, barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com site where details about teh book are listed would be helpful.

I do have some books in the classroom to check out and the school library has books for students to check out as well.
