Fiction Logs

Students are expected to write book reports about the books they are reading independently. For 7th grade, these reports take the form of a "Fiction Log" in order to help students meet the Fiction Graduation Standard.

For the 1st quarter of the year, students meet the fiction log requirement by completing the blue worksheets available in the classroom. These worksheets only work for fiction books. There are pink worksheets which go with non-fiction books.

For the rest of the school year, students are expected to create their own fiction log which includes the following information:
