Each quarter, you will read an extra book*, usually of your choice. It must be a book you have not read before, and you must have it approved by Mr. Slater or Mrs. Marshall. Upon completion, you will either post about the book on Google Classroom as a comment on a post there.
*You may choose, if approved, to do a Writer's Notebook instead of reading an independent book.
*If you choose an AP book, you will receive an extra entry in our behavior prize drawing.
