Independent Reading Projects

Remember your independent reading book(s)? Here is a list of suggestions for your project. These are only suggestions. If you have another idea, run it past me.

If you are planning to take the ELA Regents, it is strongly suggested you write a critical lens essay, using your independent reading book and one other novel, play, poem, or short story that you have read. Here are more directions and some quotations to choose from.

Please turn in the Literature Circle worksheet with the grading rubric when you turn in your project. Also, please plan to present your project to the class.
