This Week in Reading

This week, you will have time to finish reading your independent book for your project due Monday. You will also have the opprotunity to begin your Power Point presentation and ask Mr. Hermance any questions you may have.

Independent Reading Project #1

For our first independent reading project, you will be reading your selected book on your own over the last weeks of your ninth grade year. As you read the book, complete this template. The template will help guide you to construct a Power Point presentation to review the book you read in a class presentation. The Power Point should include pictures, maps, etc. to illustrate the book.

It should be proofread for spelling and grammar. It is your responsibility to self-advocate to Mr. Hermance if you need assistance with the project.

Due Date: Monday, October 19, 2009.

Late: 50% 1 day, 0 credit afterwards, but still needs to be completed.

Independent Reading Project #2

For our second independent reading project, you will be reading your selected book on your own over the last weeks of your ninth grade year. As you read the book, complete this template. The template will help guide you to construct a Power Point presentation to review the book you read in a class presentation. The Power Point should include pictures, maps, etc. to illustrate the book. It should be proofread for spelling and grammar.

In addition, you should create a minimum of 10-15 comprehension questions for your book so that future reading comprehension students have a guide if they choose to read your book.

The completed project is due Wednesday, June 10.

It is your responsibility to self-advocate to Mr. Hermance if you need assistance with the project.

Independent Reading Project

Over Spring Break, your task is to independently read the book you checked out from the library on Thursday and complete the following assignment:

Create Three Blog Posts About Your Book:

1. Write a 2-4 paragraph book review in which you give a brief summary of the plot, identify the main idea/theme of the book, identify what you liked/didn't like about the book, and make a recommendation for who may enjoy this book.
   
2. Write a short journal piece (Example: Miranda's journal in LAWKI) from the point of view of the main character during an important part of the book. The journal piece should be a minimum of two paragraphs.
   
3. Find a music video on You Tube that you feel illustrates the main idea/theme of the book. If you do not know how to embed the video, just paste in the URL (web address) for the video. Write at least one paragraph explaining why this song/video makes a good soundtrack for the book.

Remember: Proof read for spelling, punctuation, complete sentences. You may include pictures with your post if you so desire.

This assignment will be due the Monday we return from Spring Break. You may email Mr. Hermance over break at jhermance@normanhoward.org if you have questions.
