Book Report Project
Students will be doing a book report project for U.S. History. Students will read a biography on a well known historical figure from American history (subject to approval by teacher) and be responsible for obtaining a copy of the book. This may be a book purchased at the bookfaire, a bookstore, or borrowed from a library.
As this was mentioned during the bookfaire and Back to School Night, most students already have their books and have begun reading. If you have not, PLEASE choose your book and get started this week!
The book report project will be due on Thursday, November 6th. It will consist of answering questions and creating a poster timeline of the key events. More details will be forthcoming. For this week it is important that all students choose their historical figure, obtain the book, and begin reading.
