This is a compendium of timed responses, vocab stories and other personal written responses by students in Ms. Reyes's English 12 class. “Read, read, read. Read everything – trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.” ~William Faulkner

IRP~making your choice
Welcome to your first semester Independent Reading Project:
Please choose your literary work wisely. Keep a few things in mind:
1. Choose something challenging
2. Choose something that interests you
3. Choose something you want to explore in more depth
4. Choose something that will make you think
Read as many books as you can before you settle on the one work that you plan to share with the class.
Once you've chosen your novel, read it carefully and in its entirety.
Find themes that connect to current life
Find connections to your life or to the life of someone you know.
Find the value in the novel
Find a way to share this information in a creative, inspirational, and unusual way.
