Book Projects? AR tests? WTF?!?!
God, why do we have to do book projects and take “AR” tests? I mean whats the whole point of it? To annoy the students? Well, anyway, i just finished this months book project. I had to make a diorama and then type an essay to go with it. My youngest sister (who is still older than me…>.<) helped draw one of the characters. the book I used for the AR test and book project was “Bone: Out from Boneville.” its a pretty good book though, yet I’ve just started reading the sires…-.-. also, I plan on recording my science class singing one of the songs with my MP3 player, and it will be my 10th recording. I like my MP3 player because i can put music on it and doing so is easy, and it take record. You can even change the menu language. Its freaking awesome.
P.S. Please answer if you know why we have to do book projects, and thanks to who ever tells me why!^_^

Well, AR test let the teachers know how your reading comprehension is doing. It’s not enough to read stuff, they want to know that you understand what you read.
The book projects are to get you a bit more involved than just passively reading a book. When you do a book project, you have to pay more detailed attention to the aspect of the book that you do the project on.
Plus, the book project makes you write long form prose. In addition to making sure you know how to read, your ELA teacher has to make sure you know how to write. Writing improves with practice, so the more often you have to write essays and stuff, the better you get at it.
