Students are to bring their independent reading book to class each time we meet. Every student must keep a reading log and do several written and oral assignments and AR quizzes pertaining to the book. AP English students, please see me about the AP list.

Each student will maintain a portfolio and keep a copy of the course description and syllabus as well at the course rubric. All student work is to be kept in the portfolio.
California School Library Standards and California Core Standards will be used in this class.
