Winter Break Reading Assignment

Read & annotate (using stickies or paper) with Level 2&3 annotations chapters 1-15 in The Young Landlords by Walter Dean Myers.

Open Mic!
On Monday 1/5/09 when we return from break we will have a final Open Mic performance for Term 2. If you have not yet performed during Term 2, you must do so for a 20 point grade.

Extra Credit!!! Wooee!!!
For Challenge Credit over the break
, you may do any of the following:
1) Finish The Young Landlords & annotations.
2) Write a missing chapter from The Young Landlords.
4) Create a comic strip of one or more scenes in The Young Landlords, including a beginning, middle, and end so that the comic strip would make sense to someone who hadn't read the book
5) Create a skit/scene from The Young Landlords and film it on a video camera or phone. Make sure it follows the dialogue in the book, but also show some of the deeper feelings and ideas the characters are struggling with.
6) Write a creative short story of any type!
