Day 69

Objective:  The students will know what is expected for Outside Reading Book.

Now that we have finished Monte Cristo (other than watching the movie which we will do for the final), it's time to start your outside reading book.

Due Date:  December  15 by 2:30 pm.  Since this is a long term assignment that you have known about since the first week, I DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT LATE WORK.  So, I will not.  Even if you are sick, get it to me on time or it's a zero.

This is worth 650 points to your grade. 

1.  Sample Book Report

2.  Report Outline

3.  District First Semester Test (in you GC).  It's worth points in your Aeries grade.
