Grade 9 Multigenre Project

Today we started a multigenre project, and you were asked to find a book that you will be able to finish by May 30th (with classtime provided for reading). The next two days will be for reading (and making sure you have a book you are comfortable with and enjoy). The books can be any genre.   By Monday, have enough of the book read so that you will be able to talk to me about it and we can find a theme or issue to focus your project on.
