Independent Literature Requirement

Independent Literature Requirement

Independent reading is an essential habit for a lifelong learner. To support this principle, students will be required to complete independent literature requirements this school year. The expectation is that students will be reading 30 minutes a night at least 5 days a week within their AR level. Students will then choose one (1) book each quarter that is approved by the teacher to complete an IN CLASS book project on. This book project will be either completed in class and then presented in class at the end of the quarter.

Below is a list of the book projects and due dates (subject to change):

4th-6th Grades Due Date

Quarter 1- Novel Trading Cards ~10/14

Quarter 2-Book Review with Commercial ~12/18

Quarter 3-Book Jacket ~3/8

Quarter 4-Novel Song/Music ~5/17

Love That Dog Poetry Project (4th only)

More specific book project information and detailed rubrics will be given at the beginning of each quarter. The book projects will be a separate grade following a detailed rubric.
