Class Novels: What We Are Reading Now....

Every single day, students are given at least five to ten minutes to read independently at the start of our language arts class.  During this time, folders are passed out, paper distributed, and students may take AR tests or podcast.  At the end of class, we try to read as folders are collected and we have done our wrap up activity.

Period 1 is reading Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson.

Period 2 has voted to read Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book. However, so far, they still prefer to read their independent novels.

Period 3 is reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan.
Period 4 has taken on the challenge of reading Michael Grant's Gone.  It is a long book but this class is committed to finishing it in record time!
Period 6 is finishing up Haddix's Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey.

Although we try, we don't always have time to read every single day.  However, we aim to read at least five minutes at the close of every class.  Some students still decide to read their own independent novels.
