Independent Reading Projects

For 2015-2016, IRPs are due Oct. 15/16, Nov. 23/24, Jan. 7/8, Feb. 15/16, Apr. 7/8, and May 30/31 (whichever of the two dates we have class).  Each term includes two IRPs, the books from which should approximate a total of 600 pages of reading.

 

Every project this year will be the same.  Read the instructions carefully.

If you haven't completed reading the book by the due date, complete your reflection based on the part of the book you have finished.  You don't need to have finished the plot or character arcs to be able to learn from the writer.
