1 Chipotle Reading Rewards: Independent Reading Assignment Graded: 30 points DUE: May 22 Independent reading is an important part of our class. We will begin each class with minutes of independent reading time. You are accountable for using this time wisely. Please read the notes below. You also need to be reading your 20+ minutes outside of school to continue to grow as a reader and meet your 15 book goal. Expectation: All students are required to read at least 2 more grade-level appropriate books by May 22. You will be able to choose your books, but they must be appropriate for your level and help you grow as a reader. These books need to be from DIFFERENT GENRES. Read as many books as you have time for! Many of you are reading rockstars and will read more than merely two. Just be sure to complete two Book Completion Forms for the two you are counting for this assignment. Be sure to write the books you finish in your 15 book log. Bring your books to class each day! Assignments The Independent Reading Introduction page and an End of Book Form should be completed for BOTH books you are using for this assignment. All weekly assignments should be completed on a blank sheet of notebook paper, unless otherwise noted. You are responsible for showing your best effort on these assignments. Be thoughtful and neat! BONUS In addition to earning points and improving your reading skills, you can also earn a Chipotle Reading Reward (Buy one Burrito, Burrito Bowl, Salad, or order of Tacos, and get another one FREE)! You will only be eligible for the Chipotle Reading Reward if you follow directions and adhere to all due dates. Please note that the LaMuth Library will be closing May 3, so students will be expected to bring books from home or read books that are available free online (classics) Student signature : I understand the Chipotle Rewards Independent Reading Assignment.
