    * Literature Circles/ Outside Reading Pages! 
    First semester, freshmen will be participating in required Literature Circles (book clubs) for their reading requiremenst.  This will be replaced by an Outside Reading requirement second semester. 
    Literature Circlest will run for 6 weeks, with students being required to read a set number of chapters and complete an assignment for classes due every on Wednesday. 
    Outside Reading will require students to read 600 pages of literature from books of their own choice, and discuss the book with me upon completion.  They will have until the end of the semester to complete the required reading.  OR pages will be broken into three due dates, during which 1/3 of OR pages are due.  Extra credit can be earned for reading extra pages, 10 extra pages = 1 extra point. Due dates for pages:
    Semester 2- 6 weeks- March 15; 12 weeks- April 26; Final grade- June 6. 
    The notes area of the gradebook assignment will record what books have been discussed and when the book chat was completed.  At 15 weeks, scores will be entered so that impact on grade can be seen.  Score will be replaced as book chats are completed.
