Long-Term Reading Assignments

All Classes: See books and dates due in the right column of this web page. Scroll down; look for the green font. Chunk your reading (a little every night). Be prepared for pop quizzes on any reading assignments. Also expect an assessment (test, essay, or both) on the day that a book/story/text is due.

English III--"The World on the Turtle's Back" Text: Annotate EVERY text I assign. Annotating reading assignments increases focus and comprehension.

I could collect any assignment at any time, not just the due date.
