At least half the class has finished a book already! Wow! Well done. Set a goal. Minimum is 15 pages per day. I had one student read 42 books in one year and the list included 10 classics!!! Remember, for an A, you must read widely: fantasy, science fiction, biography, romance, memoir, auto-biography, How-to books, graphic novels, plays, poetry, novels in verse, horror, Gothic, Canadian, books in translation, history, politics, ancient civilizations, anthropology, and the list goes on. . .
And you must read at least 3 books on your course outline (THE GREEN SHEET). MOST OF THESE BOOKS ARE IN THE BOOK CLUB SECTION IN THE LEARNING COMMONS. YOU MAY READ THE SAME BOOK AS A FRIEND OR AS A BOOK CLUB. START A BOOK CLUB!!
Remember: Bring in your library card. 10 easy marks.
Great work today. I will mark these paragraphs and return them by Monday.
Tomorrow: No need to bring your books unless you wish to make notes during the presentation in the learning commons.
Note: YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST BEHAVIOUR IS EXPECTED DURING THE PRESENTATION. THERE WILL BE TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STORIES, THE WRITING AND EDITING PROCESS, ABOUT WRITING 12, ETC
BONUS: Can you define all of the vocabulary words without looking at the definitions yet?
