Schedule+for+Giver+Assignments

This is the schedule of assignments and activities for our novel study. Every effort will be made to keep these dates as they are, but activities outside of my control might change them (awards assemblies, end of the year concerts, etc). If you are absent you will know what we are doing by referring to this page (or my school web page). Email me with any questions.

 * Grades will be given as follows:**
 * Each student will receive a test grade on his or her section of responsibility (this includes the book review). This grade also will count as the semester project grade for the student.
 * Each student will receive a test grade based on the result of his or her AR test score.
 * Each student will receive two daily grades (same grade counted twice) based on the cumulative group work including presentation using the points outlined on the main Giver Project wiki page.
