Fiction Book Selection DETAILS: Be sure that your book selections are available. There are only a limited number of copies in any given library and those copies may be checked out or reserved. Students are to review their anticipated selections on one of the websites listed below. She or he must mark which website was used to review the selections. If the selection is to be purchased online, the order must be placed as soon as the teacher narrows the choice to a single book. Once the student has selected three choices, he or she will not be able to change later. This is to prevent endless changes and falling behind on the assignment. No more than two students per class will be assigned the same book.

The student should get approval from both parent and teacher before securing the book. Approval is a participation grade, and must be done by Monday, March 25th, with the student physically showing the teacher the book before spring break. The student is also required to have a reading journal organized as taught in class, and fully used while reading the book.
