__ **Self-Selected Reading** (100 Points) __
  You need to read at least one self-selected book every month. Make sure your book is at least 100 pages long (not counting pictures) and is approved by the teacher. There may be some time to read in class but you will probably need to take your book home to finish it in time. Every day, you should have your book with you in class. If you do not have it, you will lose 10 points.  When you finish reading your book, you need to:.    1) Write an at least 10-sentence paragraph reviewing your book - typed, double spaced.  2) Take an Accelerated Reader quiz on your book and receive a passing grade.   If there is no AR quiz for your book, you need to make one up complete with answer key. 3) If your book has been made into a movie,   you must watch the movie after finishing your book and hand in a 10-sentence paragraph explaining how the book and movie differ. If you don’t do this, you will get a zero on the assignment!
