Classic Book Report:

          For our final independent reading you are to pick out a classic book to read.  We went over the criteria in class.  In case you need a reminder - pick out a book that is at least 50 years old (withstood the test of time), and has a universal theme (something that people can relate to, or identify with)...
       Open up the google doc below and follow the instructions as you fill out the form.  Use complete sentences where it is required.  
          Make sure you make a copy of the document and rename it with your first & last name, class period, and assignment (classic book report).  
                                                              Due date: Wednesday, May 24th.
