Summer Reading Part Deux

Okay, to move to the next step in the summer reading process, we need volunteers to

• select a book or two from each grade level to eliminate and replace with a work that is in the public domain and therefore free to students
• devise and create materials for this marathon of reading contest. We'll need something we can get into the hands of the students
  

In addition to this, we all need to

• iron out the details. What did we decide the reading requirements would be (was it one book, and accompanying film, and an accompanying article? Then, reward the kids who read widely beyond that (books of their own choosing))?
• What will the September assessment be? I think we've decided this but I forgot.
  
• Blog/automated phone call (I volunteer to work on this aspect.)
  

If I've forgotten something crucial, remind me in the comments. Methinks I need to improve my record keeping (although two weeks off can make a brain wonderfully mushy). I'd love to hit the ground running when we get back so we can get this to students during the 1st or 2nd week of May.

As a quasi deadline, please respond to this post by Thursday evening and we'll call a meeting to order for the following Thursday. Also, if you remember the other major things we were planning to discuss (like portfolio, etc.) pop a comment or a new post. Peace.
