I will assign a different genre (fiction, mystery, biography, etc...) approximately each month as well as a book report. Reports will vary in content as well as complexity. My purpose for assigning these book reports are numerous; (1) to encourage reading, (2) to introduce students to numerous genres and writing styles, (3) to spark new interests, (4) to respond to and share literature in diverse ways and (5) to improve reading ability, comprehension and vocabulary.  Please click here for the current book report.

Students are expected to have a book in class everyday. Students are often provided with time to read independently, especially when quiet time is needed to allow others to
complete an assignment.
