Book+List

Students: You are expected to choose a novel for the second segment of the semester. For the US Government class, your reading time is the 2nd or 4th quarters depending on when you take my course. For US History, you will do your reading during the third section of the course. __**Choose a book from the list and READ!!!**__ Remember your choice must be from within the topic area you have covered. If you read the same book as someone else, a partnership can be formed, **but you must see me to approve this partnership and acquire instructions on how to complete the project. (Yes, you must both read the book!!!) ** **1. Select a Novel from the following list. Note: Mr. Allen may have a few copies available, however, these copies will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may have to consult your neighborhood library. The store "Book Off" may offer used versions of the book you are looking for that are priced under $5**. **There are also several used book stores around the island. There should be no need for you to purchase a brand new copy unless you are too slow!!** **You should be able to find most of the books at your neighborhood library!!**
 * Instructions: **
 * If you are late with your book, YOU are the one whose grade will suffer. I will give out 4 class days to read For each of those days, the 60 minute periods will be split like so: 45 minutes to read then 15 minutes to write summaries about what you have just read. Summaries are worth 50 Points each. Over 4 Days this portion is worth 200 Points ! **
