the final exam. You can turn in
completed supplemental reading assignments at
any time, just be sure you have one turned in by
the last day of the semester!
Worth:
100 class work points (usually turns out to
being about 2 percent of your overall grade, but
this can vary).
Assignment:
-
Are you in
IB Biology II? If so,
click here for your first semester
supplemental reading assignment (doc).
-
Choose a book from the
options below. Some are easy, some are
hard. All are great!
-
Acquire the book (libraries
have multiple copies of these books or you
can get copies of some of them from the
classroom collection). You can also link
through to Amazon from this site and order
the books direct.
-
For books in
list A:
 |
Get the question sets
linked from the book titles.
|
|
|
Read the book, love
it, and answer the questions in your
own writing. ANSWERS MAY NOT BE
TYPED.
|
|
|
Complete the
supplemental reading verification
form
|
|
|
Turn in your question
packets and be rewarded with oogles
and oodles of points (100 max)!
|
-
For books in list
B:
|
|
These books are
great, but I don’t have questions
written for them yet… so, you can
write the questions!
|
|
|
For each chapter of
the book, write a 3-5 sentence
summary of what happened in that
chapter. Then…
|
|
|
For each chapter,
write 1-3 questions that can be used
for future students reading the
book. |
The questions can not be answered with a
single word and must be related to the
BIOLOGY behind the book. Then…
|
|
For each question you
wrote, provide the correct answer.
|
|
|
Your summaries,
questions and answers must be TYPED
and emailed to Ms. vB.
|
|
|
Complete the supplemental
reading verification form |
|
|
I recognize that this
is more work than option A, so you
will be rewarded with oogles and
oodles of points (120
max)!
|
Yes… that’s right. You can
earn 120 points for selecting option B,
that’s 20 extra credit points!
-
If you bought a book and want
nothing more to do with it, then PLEASE
donate your book to the classroom
collection! What good karma you will have.
But, wait… there’s more!
You can read more than one book a
semester for extra credit (list A or list B, 50
points each, no limit)!!
