Summary

HW
The Outsiders Ch.2

So we got into period 2 and immediately started discussing our summer assigment. We learned that all the books are on the ap reading list and are really important to read for college. We the started to go over the format of how the assigment should be formatted. Ms. Nakada then wrote a mock assignment on the book Extremely Loud and Incredbely Close. Ms. Nakada explained to us through her writing how to properly write in the 8-12 sentence format that Mrs. Jacobson asked us to write in. Shawn realized that he was not in Mrs. Jacobsons class last year and then discovered that Ms. Nakada wa doing this for the kids weren't in the class last year. Owen of course critized Ms. Nakada. If you need reference on how to format and write the summary please click this link and download the 7th grade summer assignment.

After going over the summer assigment we went into our reading logs and our reading plan for the semester. Ms Nakada suggested that everyone if you haven't, read the Hunger Games series, along with many other great classics and modern books. You have to read a minium of 6 novels this semester and at least half of them must be A.R.. The books that I am going to read are:
Against all Enemies by Tom Clancy
Dead or Alive by Tom Clancy
Splinter Cell Fallout by Tom Clancy
Splinter Cell Conviction by Tom Clancy
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Ghost Recon Combat Ops By Tom Clancy
Ms. Nakada suggests that you get into the reading zone.
