1. Read your independent reading book for 45 solid minutes (not while multitasking!). Bring a HANDWRITTEN (not typed) note from your parent/guardian that says
Dear Leila,
I promise you that my eighth grader read his/her independent reading book for 45 minutes Wednesday evening.
Signed,
________________ (parent/guardian)
If you do not bring this handwritten note, YOU WILL NOT GET CREDIT.
2. If you forgot it today, please make sure to give me the OLD unrevised version of your Hughes-inspired poem tomorrow. I want to see how your new one has evolved.
3. I also need a few more signature pages from the back of the “Eighth Grade Core” packet.
