General Information
Grading
Grades will be assessed based on a rubric for each report. The rubrics will be attached to your
final copy after grading. I have included sample rubrics at the end of this packet. Short form
book reports will count as a single assignment, while all other forms will count as a double
assignment.
Guidelines
1. All books must be approved by Mrs. Gunter. There will be a due date for each book approval.
Feel free to have the book approved before the due date in order to get an early start on your
next report. However, if you miss the approval dead line, you will lose points for the overall
project.
2. The book must be new to you.
3. With the exemption of the poetry report, you must read the book from cover to cover. For
the poetry report, you will be directed to read sections from several different books of poetry
to add up to 75 pages total.
4. Remember to follow the unique instructions for each report carefully. Refer to the rubric,
since it will be the basis of your grade, to be sure that you have met each requirement.
