They will have approximately 30 to 40 minutes of class time to read. Any pages they do not finish will need to be read at home. Students will also be responsible for meeting with and discussing their novels with me. They are also keeping a journal. Journal writings and group meetings are done during class.
Students also have an extension project due for their novel.
This should be done at home and should represent their knowledge of the novel they have read. These projects are due April 20. Along with the novels, seventh graders are preparing for the MAP test, which will be given in the spring. We are currently doing exercises that cover comprehension elements and will begin covering figurative language in the next few weeks. Seventh graders should also remember that they have to have a Mark Twain Nominee novel read by the end of fourth quarter.
