We are in the home stretch and the last project focuses on independent reading. Students have been reading independently in class since January and have had a tremendous amount of opportunities to read at least 1 novel of their choice. Scholars need to complete the book review in summary format and either four of the written assignments (150 words each) OR one of the creative choices.
