*Since you will not know when you are taking the class until you get your schedule in August, plan as if you were taking the class in the fall, which is how the suggested reading schedule is organized. You can take the test in the fall, even if you have the class in the spring. As you read, you are required to be summarizing the main events of each chapter. Write your summaryon sticky notes and place them at the end of each chapter, sticking slightly out of the book so that they are easy to find. If you want to do more annotations in your novel, refer to the instructions for effective annotation on the Mt. Tabor School Website.
