Seniors!! Independent Reading Guidelines for 2013-14

Published Sept. 4, 2013, 7:10 a.m.

All non-AP seniors: As has been the case throughout all your high school English classes, you will be required to always have a book you are reading independently. Goodreads.com will still be utilized for all assessments (in the form of a book review for EACH book you complete). In the first semester, you may choose any books you would like to read with the following stipulations: 1)the book must be at least 200 pages long; 2) the book must be grade-level appropriate; 3) the book must be either fiction or non-fiction (no books of poetry allowed); 4) the book cannot have been made into a movie. For second semester, the books you choose will be related to your topic of research. Although this will probably mean you'll be reading non-fiction books, that may not always be the case. 

**Make sure you still have an account on Goodreads.com. (If you never signed up, please do so immediately. Remember that no last names can appear on the website.)

**Make sure to send me a friend request. I cannot grade your reviews unless you are my friend. I can be found in the SFHS Group under the groups tab. If you need help with this, just let me know.

**Guidelines for reviews can be found on my old blog here. Please read these to ensure that you get the full points on all book reviews. (Just scroll down to the book review guidelines. Disregard all other information in the page.)
