Roiben was the faery that he saved. She fell in love with him. There was a war between too faery courts, the Unseelie and the Seelie’s. Together, they worked as a team to stop the war and the courts are at peace for another 7 years. Roiben became king in one of the courts.

9     new student: I loved reading Empress Orchid by Anchee Min because it tells the story in fiction from a perspective of Empress Dowager CiXi’s life and the hardships one endures in the palace. No matter how much money one has, one cannot have it all if you don’t strive. This is the lesson I recieved from the book and a lot more!

18     Fleshmarket by Nicola Morgan
date begun: 10/4/06
date finished 11/24/06

Fleshmarket talks about a boy named Robbie who his mother died by surgery. This story is really dark, the setting takes place in the 19th century, Edinburgh (somewhere in scotland) Where Robbie holds a grudge against Dr.Knox (one of the doctors that perform the surgery on his mother). The story is sometimes brutal, and sometimes make the reader feel comfortable. After Robbie’s mother died, he has to work for both him, and his sister, His dad went somewhere and never came back, and they live in top of a flesh market. I give this a 4 because sometimes it kept me reading and sometimes it hit the bottom of boredom.

Take the ORR Zoomerang Survey.

The goal of the assignment is focused more on reading—and reading prolifically. Students will be required to constantly on their person have a book to read. Since students are expected to read for both academic and well as entertainment value, the selection of the text is entirely determined by each individual.

Each class of students is assigned a display board in our room for this program. Each display shows the names of all students in the class, number of books read, and reviews for books for all to see. Students are not in competition with one another, but the visibility of the number of books read will serve as a motivating symbol to those who need an extra push in the right direction.

Procedures/ Expectations:

• Students will self-pace their own reading
• Students who finish a novel are expected to write a brief analysis using one of the theoretical approaches of no more than a paragraph
• Students will insert their summaries inside the book as soon as the book is finished. The book, with the analysis, is placed in the appropriate collection box. Students then wait for their check in conference with the teacher or librarian.
• As soon as the finished book is place in the collection box, students should immediately have another book to read and shall fill out another card for their new book
• During chec in conference, students will be called up one by one to have a quick verbal check in on books
• Students are evaluated on their summaries as well as their ability to discuss their chosen books
• Check ins will be conducted every block day for the first hour of class time
• While check ins occur, students shall use that “quiet” time for reading
• Students will be surveyed at the end of the semester online regarding the reading program
• Students are expected to read a minimu of 9 novels for the semester (3 each grading period) 
• Time will be considered within the additional homework

MIGHT WANT TO POINT OUT HOW THE CAN SCREW UP - BY LYING ABOUT WHAT HAS READ, BY NOT HAVING BOOKS TO READ, BY ABANDONING TOO MANY BOOKS WITHOUT COMPLETING THEM
