If you are coming from one of our elementary schools to be a 6th grader at Stout next year, listen up! You should begin reading two books at or near your reading level.
- Students will read one or two books of their choice at their reading level. Students who know their reading level can find a book at their level by visiting lexile.com. They should prepare by buying or checking out a book, especially if they plan to travel abroad. Additionally, they could find an ebook to read if a device is their only way to read.
- After reading, students should create a ‘one-pager,’ that shows the protagonist (main character) from their book in hand-drawn pictures and includes possible themes, important quotes that show changes in the protagonist, and the page numbers where those quotes can be found. One Pager Examples
- This information is spelled out in the Instructions Sheet attached here, as well as in the Rubric. Each completed one pager earns the student 5 summative points (up to 2 may be completed).
- Students or parents with questions should comment on the blog post or sign up for the incoming 5th grade class Remind (see attached sheet for instructions).
- One-pagers will be due August 29th, but may be brought earlier in the week to turn in. It makes a good first impression if you turn them in early 🙂
