Students are reading Fantasy and Science Fiction novels for the months of Mid-December through mid-January.  Students were instructed to go, preferably to the library, and choose an age appropriate Fantasy and/or Science Fiction novel to read at home each night for homework.  They had  from December 8th until Thursday, December 17th to bring the novel to class for teacher approval.  Any student who does not submit a novel for approval will earn a 0 and will have to wait until we return from the winter break to show to teacher.  They should be reading this/these novels during the break.  An indepth book report will be required.  Requirements for this report will be given to students by January 15th 2010, and will be due the week of January 16th.
