Junior High 5th-8th Grade Literature Book Johnny Tremain

As we begin our 2nd Quarter of the school-year it must be noted that I have made a change in our in-class Literature Reading Book. Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes will be read by all students in the Junior High to correlate with the Academic Decathlon readings for this year. All students must have their own copy. If a student wants to use their digital device (Ipad, etc.) a written notice from a parent must be brought to school for approval.

Chapter 1 must be read by all students by Monday, November 26th.

For this book, students must produce one note per page as well as copy one sentence for that particular page to support that note. For any questions on this book please see Mr. Manjarrez
