Literature 7&8 Grades:
Read, read, read thirty to forty-five minutes per day at least! That should add up to at least 200 pages for seventh grade and 250 pages for eighth grade per week (or see me for alternatives). Refer to the Literature class syllabus and to the Literature project rubric for specifications.
During Literature Circle Sessions be ready on the meeting day with your reading done, and the writing completed in your journal and on sticky notes. Have your book with you.
