=Culminating Project-marking period #1=

Theme: Survival
====This marking period I asked each of you to select and read a minimum of three texts that focused on the theme of **survival**. You could have chosen a nonfiction text like __Into the Wild__ by Jon Krakauer, or a fiction text like __Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,__ by Jon Froer. Some of you chose to interpert the theme literally, reading texts such as __Host__ by Stephanie Meyer, while others interpreted **survival** in a more figurative way, choosing texts like __Thirteen Reasons Why__ by Jay Asher.====

Some texts that made the "I loved it- you have to read it" list were:
__Shiver, Linger, Forever__- By Maggie Stiefvater __Perfect Chemistry, Rules of Attraction, Chain Reaction__-Simone Elkeles __Water for Elephants__- Sara Gruen (love/hate relationship for many of you) __Maze Runner, Scorch Trials,__ __Death Cure__-James Dasher __Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close__-Jon Foer
