German Grade 8
Assignment
In addition to the required reading for each grade level, the students will pick any one book from their grade's reading list. Upon return to school, the students will be assessed on their knowledge of the required reading. For their free choice they will also write a recommendation to be kept on file as a reference for next year's students. One of the books will also serve as the basis for an extended individual book project due sometime during the first quarter. (Specifics for each grade will be given during the first week of school.)
