Mark Twain and Truman Award nominated books
Each student is required to read one Mark Twain Award or Truman Award nominated book by a week before the end of the year. I have a summary of each book and a copy of each book jacket in my room to help students choose a book that will be interesting to them. I have read them all and will continue to discuss each book.
The form that will be used for the test over the book is the same as for Book Talk. A copy of the form is in the Communication Arts Notebook. In December I will give the students a test over either the Mark Twain or Truman nominated book that was read. I’ll talk to the students about the test at a later date.
