MONTHLY HOMEWORK (After Ender's Game)
Outside Reading:
The homework for this class is to log 10 pages of reading every night. Each month, your outside reading is graded. For full credit, it is expected that you have read around 280-310 pages a month depending on the amount of days. This usually amounts to one or more grade-level appropriate books per month. Additionally, even if you have not completed a book in the month, be sure to schedule a conversation for credit for partial completion of the book.
The final culmination of all books read is graded for 50 additional points. (This will be added at the end of the semester)
MONTHLY CLASSWORK
In-class notes and assignments are graded at the end of each month as well. Remember, if you are absent, tardy, or leave early it is your responsibility to get the notes from a friend or from the note-taker for your class linked above.
