During the month of January, you will read at least one novel with a theme of children’s or teenager’s human rights; for example, the novel may be about bullying, child labour, child soldiers, arrange marriages, education, racism, people overcoming physical or mental handicaps. The novel will act as a starting point for the project which will include: book responses, a mini book report, and a critical thinking project. As the project progresses, the critical thinking project will be designed during class.
The book must be read by the end of January and there will be three book responses due during that time. You will have 30 minutes a day to read in school. If that is not enough time, you will have to do some reading at home as well. The mini book report will be due shortly after you finish reading your book and the critical thinking project due a week later. Everything should be handed in by early February.
