SUMMER
READING ASSIGNMENT
There is nothing better than reading a good book during summer
vacation. This year, you have several good books to choose
from. I will expect you to read two books and to do a report
on both. Please pick two books from the reading
list that you have not read yet. You may not do two books
by the same author or in the same series.
I have given you a
choice of different projects to do for your report. There are
three choices, and you must pick two projects to do, one for each
book. You may not use the same project for both books.
All of the directions are listed on the sheet.
I hope you enjoy reading
your books and doing these projects. Reading will make your
summer most enjoyable. Have a great summer and stay safe!.
I am looking forward to
working with you next year. See you in September.
