Junior High

Summer Reading with Mr. U Schedule Set

by Greg Urbaniak

Are you ready to start reading with Mr. U? Below you will find the schedule for each of the novels. Remember: even though each novel is designated for a certain grade, you can read any one of the books (or all 3 if you can keep them straight). There will be five reading assignments. On Monday, July 7th, you will find information to access the discussion site. Beginning with each Monday and running through Friday of that week, you will be able to post answers to my questions or comments to my reading journal for that assignment via that discussion site. Here are the five reading assignment dates:

Reading Assignment #1: July 7-11
