You will complete a novel study that involves:

• Before You Read - Lesson
• As You Read - Reader Responses
• After You Read - Project Choices

You will have choices, choices, and more choices!

• Choices of novels
• Choices of working on your computer or on paper
• Sometimes, choices of responses
• Many great project choices

Depending on the novel you choose, this novel study will take you 3-5 weeks. Plan on reading two chapters per day (or more, if you wish). Complete the reader responses as you complete each section of reading. When the novel is complete, you will need a week or so to complete your plot diagram and project choice.

While you explore the "Personal Awareness and Responsibility" competency skills in main characters, you will reflect on your own.

So what does "Personal Awareness and Responsibility" include?

Personal awareness and responsibility includes the skills, strategies, and qualities that help students and characters to stay healthy, set goals, monitor progress, regulate emotions, respect their own rights and the rights of others, manage stress, and persevere in difficult situations. Students and characters with strong personal awareness and responsibility demonstrate self-respect and express a sense of personal well-being.
