American Literature Classics Independent Study

Funded Dec 11, 2023

Thank you for your support on our American literature independent study. At the beginning of 3rd quarter, students chose to work independently or to read the same book as some as their classmates. They had to have finished reading the book they chose by the end of 3rd quarter. As they read, they filled out character/summary sheets. They will use these sheets to compile a presentation. They will share with the class what the book was about, the important characters, symbols that they think represent the book, key quotations, and the likes/dislikes of the book. All of these have been answered on the sheets they filled. It's a way to incorporate more books for the course, and it allows for the students to share what they found to be important instead of the instructor. Most liked the project, but they are hesitant about presenting their findings. I plan on incorporating another project with these books next year that is more creative and less on presenting. Hopefully it goes well. Thanks again!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Janousek
