Independent reading

Thank you to all who responded to the previous blog. We will read Speaker for the Dead as a group. Each of you found another book you would be interested in reading. That book wil be your independent reading book for the month. Chaim- Hitchhiker's Guide, David- Ender's Shadow, Daniel- Ender's Shadow. Ilya and Yaakov- you have until this evening to post a title- otherwise, I will assign you a book to read.

Be prepared to write an in-class essay on March 10, 2010.

Happy reading!

Literature

So we read a work of science fiction, one of the best in fact, and now we are ready for a new literature unit. What do you want to read and why? Should we stay with sci-fi? With Ender? Or branch out into historical fiction, non-fiction, mythology, short stories...the possibilities are endless.

You need to post what you would like to read and why by Wednesday, February 3, 2010, so we can get the books and start reading.

Choose a novel or type you will enjoy reading and something you think the class will enjoy reading.
