Choose a book in the Historical Fiction genre for the first six-weeks.
2.
Once the book has been approved, you must bring the book to class every day.

We will have reading time in class every single day. If you dont have your book with you, you get
to read the dictionary and get a zero for that days journal entry.
4.
After I stop your reading time, you must complete a journal. If you are absent, you are
still responsible for reading at least thirty minutes and completing a journal for the day (if
you are gone multiple days, you must do this for each day you are gone).

journals and a presentation on your first book.
