Your projects are due on Monday December 14th.

For every ten pages you read, please write a two-to- three sentence summary of what you have read.  In addition, you will need to demonstrate your understanding of the most important events, character interactions, etc. by graphically-depicting (drawing out) the ten pages you read. Be sure to fill the space.

Dear brilliant students of the Bridge Academy –

Your Independent Reading Project (IRP) books are due by the Monday following Thanksgiving.  You will be provided ample time to read in class, but will likely need to read outside of class too if you are to meet all project deadlines and requirements.

Final projects are due on December 5th.  Full project guidelines and requirements can be found under the “Bridge Academy Projects” tab beneath the IRP section.  Good luck!
