Lit Projects

 
Literature projects make up a large percentage of the students' grades in 
Lit.  Throughout the year the students will be assigned books in different 
literary genres.  The students then will do a project chosen by them to 
present to the class to explain their book.  The amount of creativity shown 
through these projects is amazing.  Hopefully, each child will be able to 
choose a type of project that gives them the opportunity to shine.

The literature projects for September are:

6th grade:  a novel from a recommended reading list which will be given to 
them the first week of school.

7th grade:  historical fiction called "Westward Ho!"  This should be a novel 
about the pioneer movement in our country.

8th grade:  historical fiction from the Civil War to 1920.

Each student will be given complete instructions along with ideas to choose 
from for their projects.  It is very important that students do not lose 
this sheet as following all the directions will be a part of their grade.  
It is always exciting to see what the kids come up with!

Happy reading!
