Skills covered in this class:
Reading comprehension
Critical thinking
Vocabulary building
Making connections to current events and personal experiences

Students are required to read two chapters per week and summarize each chapter before the next class. Students will need a designated black and white composition book to use as a reading and writing journal. All activities should be completed the composition book, as well.
