First Reading Book Report Project

The sixth graders were introduced to a new reading project after selecting a novel under the theme of "Growth and Change".

We are asking that students complete a graphic organizer while reading their novel to help with the final project due Oct. 11th.

Below are some of the directions for the project.  You can find the complete project on the 6th grade filing cabinet.
