Q4 Reading Extra Credit Assignment: Due Tuesday, 6/5
Hi parents--
I passed out one part of the Q4 reading extra credit, but explained to the students that I would post full details here.
Students will choose a PICTURE BOOK of their choice that is 2nd grade level or higher. It should be a book that they not only enjoy, but are able to read fluently without assistance. Students will read aloud the story to our class on Tuesday during reading block. They will be required to use expression, so make sure they practice.
They are also required to either dress up as the main character or bring at least 2 props that represent the main character of the story. For example, I had a student read "Miss Nelson is Missing" last year and she dressed up like Miss Nelson. I also had a student dress in pajamas with slipper for Fancy Nancy and a student in a dog costume. Be creative :)
Lastly, students will fill out the character sketch chart I sent home today. This chart will help students understand details about the main character of their book. I know the space is small, but complete sentences need to be written to the best of their ability. If they run out of room, they can attach a sheet of notebook paper with the rest of the assignment.
This assignment grade will REPLACE the lowest reading OR language arts grade (whichever helps your student's grade more).
**DUE: Tuesday, June 5th. NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED...**
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Ms. Walker
