2024 Updates:
Plagiarism checks will be done for all aspects of projects. Students who are caught using plagiarism/AI will face disciplinary action AND will have to complete all further projects on paper.
8th Grade: You will complete two independent reading projects and craft your own Children's Book for the 4th quarter Family Reading Night that will take the place of your third IRP.
How to look for a book:
Think of books you have read and liked in the past.
Ask classmates, teachers, parents, siblings, etc. for recommendations.
Perform a google search for books you might like using key words, themes, genres, etc.
Consider joining the Library Book Club to hear about the books your classmates are reading.
Consider participating in the Mark Twain/Truman Book Award Program.
You cannot use a book you have already read, or a book we are reading together in class!
