Capstone and Independent Reading

Hello All,

This week students are finishing their research for the Capstone Project.  Honors will be expected to complete this assignment before we get back from Spring Break, while on level will be composing the project in class together.

After we come back from Spring Break students will be completing an Independent Reading Project.

In Honors:
For this project, they were asked to choose a book from the list of books that have appeared on the AP Lit test, found here, so that they will be more well-read and better prepared for that test, if they should choose to take it.  As such, the list is large and some of the texts are on varied maturity levels.

In On Level:
For this project, students were asked to choose a book that they want to read as reading more promotes better literacy and raises vocabulary and lexile levels just through the act of reading.

For everyone:
If you have any concerns with your child's choice, please let both of us know so that they can choose another book.

Students are expected to bring this text with them to class on Monday when we return from Spring Break.

Happy Thursday!
