The 7th grade students complete an at-home reading project each quarter. For the fourth quarter, the students will read a book of their choice again, but it has to be approved by me first. After reading the book, they need to fill out the book review and plot diagram. Although there will be some time to work on these during class, this is an at-home project. This assignment is due on Friday, May 3, and it is a 200-point grade. They will write a summary of the book in class once they turn in their project. *The students were given a copy of this assignment, but you can also find it on the “Class Documents” tab on the left of this page and on Google Classroom under Quarterly Reading Projects.
