RE: 4th marking period book reports ________________________________________________________
Along with spring, the fourth marking period has arrived! We are again doing SRC books. All books have to be returned to the media center by June 6, 2008. Their choice of books is limited to the following:
- The book must appear on the SRC test list.
- The book may not have a movie form.
- The book must be read in the current marking period.
- The book may be, at the most, 1 grade level below a student’s current grade.
- The student must pass the book test with a 70% in order to receive all the book points. If a lower percentage than 70% is attained after 3 attempts, that percentage will be multiplied by the book points for a reduced amount of book points. The final deadline for points is Wednesday, June 4, 2008.
- 5th grade is required 15 points.
- 8th grade is required 19 points.
- 7th grade has a requirement of 23 points.
- Additional information is attached.
Only one (1) book report will be required for this marking period. That book report will be on one of the SRC books read including a SRC test passed (meeting the requirements mentioned above) and due on Monday, June 2, 2008. A book map, time log, and class presentation will be part of the report. The emphasis of this book report will be making a creative connection to the book.
