Homework: Students will read their book for book report--students should

1. Students will choose a novel in their reading level range and get the
book approved by Mrs. James. Book must be approved by May 10 or 11 and
for "B" and "A" Day for 15 pts. Use your Star Diagnostic Report to
help you decide what books are on your reading level.
2 These book reports are worth 100 pts. each month. Student will make an
appointment with Mrs. James for an oral book report or take an AR test in
the library on the computer. If you book is not an "AR" book you will need
to do an oral book report WITH THE BOOK to Mrs. James. This will be due in
Mat 20 or 21.
4. Students will complete 1 hour of community service for the term and
write a paper, consisting of at least 4 paragraphs in ink or typed. The
first paragraph will introduce the need the student hopes to help with. The
second paragraph will describe why the student chose this project. The
third paragraph will describe in detail what the student did for service.
The fourth paragraph will describe how the student felt about giving the
service. If the student does "direct" service they will add a paragraph
about how the person they helped responded to their service. If the student
has access to video equipment and knows how to edit he/she may choose to do
a video presentation. They may also choose to do a Power Point
presentation. This will be completed near the last week of the term March
"B" Day and March "A" Day. This will be worth 100 points.
Please DO NOT HELP family members for this service project. That is
something we should do anyway just because we are part of a family. Also
doing projects for a church should be for Community Service rather than for
religious purposes. The intent of this project is to become aware of service
that needs to be done in the community. Good luck.
5. Please bring a notebook with paper,a planner,a novel to read if you
complete work, and 2 pencils and a pen to class each day.
We are playing Grammar Ball. Students will be completing skill sheets and
then playing with a team competing in Grammar Ball.
6. Students will receive 30 points every month for DEAR time (Drop
Everything And Read) if they bring a book to class, fill out their reading
log and read quietly without disturbing other students.
