The Plan.....
1. The Outsiders Essay - Finish it - share your final draft (Due the week after spring break)
2. Myth - finish it - share your final draft (Due the week after spring break)
3. Read - On Monday, March 16th students that were in class were given novels that will become the basis of an individual novel study project. I normally due this at the end of the year but will begin it now. 1st step is to read at least 2 of the books. I am working on re-jigging some of these assignments....I will post when it is ready to go.
***keep a t-chart of your thinking and your thoughts - this will help you with the project work. Also, the more novels you read, the more choice you have down the road.***
Students that were not at school on the 16th - please email me the name of the novel you are reading now and think you would like to do a project on.
Here is the list of books I have picked for the project:
