Welcome to the first novel of the year!
Holes is an exciting mystery novel about a boy who is cursed thanks to his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. This book won the Newbery Medal and was a National Book Award winner.
During this book I will be introducing the critical thinking components of reading. These components will be a theme throughout the year with all books that we read. I will also be using this book to introduce the book club jobs that you will complete in both 2nd and 4th quarters. Each week you will have a reading assignment that will be posted here and we will also have a culminating project for the book which will involve a comparison of the movie and the book.
