==**Class Assignment for Q2 Independent Reader's Response (Due Monday, December 6, 2010): **== For your Independent Reader's Response this quarter, you will be required to read a book of fiction that you choose AND approved by me. While reading the book, you are to choose one character from the book and create a page for that character that could appear on a social networking site. You must include the elements listed on the "page requirements". You are encouraged to be as creative as you can be; however, remember all text, pictures, and/or media posted must be school appropriate. All work must be submitted here on this site. No hardcopies of any work will be accepted. Be sure to save often when working on your character page so that your hardwork is not lost.

//__** The site will be locked at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, December 6, 2010, and you will not be able to add, edit, or delete any information at that point. Please plan ahead and complete your project on time so that you d​o not put your grade for the quarter in danger. **__//

We **__will not__** visit the computer lab as a class for you to complete your page. If you do not have internet access at home, remember that you can use the desktop in your homeroom or a computer in the media center any morning beginning at 9:00 a.m. If you need access to a school computer before 9:00 a.m. any morning, please see Mrs. McElroy in person and arrangements will be made to help you get on a computer to complete your project, **__BUT__** due to popular demand for computer time, you may find all available computers in use some days, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO YOUR PROJECT IF YOU NEED TO USE A SCHOOL COMPUTER.

There are some limitations on the titles from which you may choose. Books on this list **__ARE NOT__** acceptable to use for this assignment. If you complete the assignment using one of these titles, or a title from any series including one of the titles below, you will receive a zero (0) for this assignment.

 * Remember any book that you choose must be of appropriate age and reading level and, as always, if you have any questions about the appropriateness of a book for your Independent Reader's Response, see me immediately. You don't want to spend a lot of time with a book that will not be acceptable for the project.**
