Introduction:
In
order to promote literacy, each student will be reading a self-selected
novel. A reader becomes more interested
in the book when it is about a topic of personal interest and when he/she has
ownership in selecting the book; therefore, you may choose your own novel as
long as it is on the Black-Eyed Susan list.
Before selecting your novel, you must understand what the Black-Eyed
Susan list is and know descriptions about the novels you may choose from.
