Independent Reading Assignment
Due Date: April 29, 2008
Read one book from the following list (you may also pick out your own books to
read, as long as you obtain my approval).
For your book, (1) write a short summary for each chapter, and pass in these
chapter notes to me in class, and (2) write a 300 - word (minimum) book review and post
it on either
epinions.com or
Barnes and Noble.com. You may either post it using
your real name, or a pseudonym. Email me a copy of your book review, at
fvirzi@rcn.com. Only book reviews posted online
will be graded. If you need help posting your review or e-mailing it,
please see me for help.
This assignment will count as 200 quiz points. Your chapter notes will be worth 100 points, and your book review will also
be worth 100 points. To see how your review will be evaluated, CLICK HERE.

During the weeks of April 14-18, all class time will be devoted to
silent reading. You will have no other homework. If you come to class one any day without
your book, you will lose TEN POINTS on this assignment for each day that you forget
your book.
