Genre Projects

Each month, students are assigned a genre project for a specific genre. They are expected to read ONE book in that genre, quiz on it if required (most are), and complete the project by the last school day of the month. Students may complete their genre project any time during the month and turn it in early. NO LATE WORK will be accepted due to the amount of time students have to complete this monthly project. Genre projects count as two reading test grades, so be sure to do your best work!

At the beginning of every month, I encourage students to go ahead and check out their required genre book and read it so that they aren't scrambling at the end of the month. Parents, please help monitor their progress so that no one is frustrated near the end of month. Thank you!

This month's genre is realistic fiction. Realistic fiction books are make believe but seem like they could be real. They are set in modern times (instead of in the past like historical fiction). Some great authors of realistic fiction include Beverly Cleary, Louis Sachar, and Gary Paulsen. This month's project is a simple book report that can be found HERE. (All students will receive one copy of the genre project; I am adding it here for your convenience.)
