Homework due Tues 11/18 -- Choose a book for your book report and get book report notice signed. A copy of the notice is posted below:
Dear Parents, November 17, 2003
This is a message from Mr. Porter, your child’s Language Arts Teacher at PS#34. All 8th graders in my class will write one book report per month. The next book report is due in my class on Tuesday, December 2, 2003. Your child will choose the book. We will NOT be reading this book in class. It will be your child’s responsibility to read the book on his or her own. You can help by monitoring your child’s progess.
Here is a checklist of all the things that the book report MUST include. Please use this checklist to check your child’s book report the night before it is due:
§ Cover
o Student’s name
o Date
o Subject: Language Arts
o Homeroom
o Marking Period
o Title of Book
§ Introduction
o Title of Book
o Author’s Name
o Names of the Main Characters
§ At least one paragraph about the beginning of the book
o A quote from the beginning of the book with the page number
§ At least one paragraph about the middle of the book
o A quote from the middle of the book with the page number
§ At least one paragraph about the end of the book
o A quote from the end of the book with the page number
§ A recommendation explaining whether you liked the book and why
Your child’s homework for tonight is to choose a book, show you this paper, fill out the lines below, get your signature, clip off the bottom with scissors, and return it to me tomorrow. Also, tomorrow, your child must show me the book in class. If the information below is not complete, or your child doesn’t bring the book in tomorrow, your child will not receive full credit for this homework assignment.
Thanks for your help and cooperation. -Mr. Porter
