First Part: Choose a Book to Read
First Part: Choose a Book to Read
Choose ONE book from below to read. You will be using this book for your research paper at the start of school. Make sure you can find scholarly journals to use for research BEFORE you choose your novel. Before making your final choice, be sure you research the novel to make sure it is one you and your guardians will be pleased you are reading. Amazon Reviews, Common Sense Media Reviews, and reading the first chapter of the book could prove to be useful in making your decision. YOU MAY NOT CHOOSE A NOVEL THAT YOU HAVE READ PREVIOUSLY.
YOU ALSO CANNOT USE METAMORPHOSIS, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE, DEATH OF A SALESMAN OR THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST.
Students, plagiarism is defined as the passing off of another's words or ideas as your own. Be mindful that all assignments reflect your own original thoughts. All submissions will pass through AI/plagiarism detection software. Writing assignments are not just about the final product; they're also about engaging with the learning experience. Work which is plagiarized in any way will receive a zero, and the student will face disciplinary action.
