Today is the first day of the Renaissance Reader Challenges.
I am challenging all students, faculty and parents of The Davis Academy to become a Renaissance Reader. To become a Renaissance Reader you have to meet one of the challenges posted to this Blog and bring the list of books to me in the Media Center for your certificate.
You may earn more than one Renaissance Reader certificate; in fact I hope you will earn multiple certificates during this school year.
The first challenge is simple, but there are a few guidelines:
Guidelines for Renaissance Readers: Introduction to Authors
1. The challenge starts on September 14, 2010 and ends on May 14, 2011

3. Read books by an author in which you have never read before.

Level 3: Judicious Reader: Read Books by 7 Authors

May I cheat and include a book that I began reading over the weekend? Also, can they be novels?
ReplyDeleteIf you are cheating, then I am as well. I am including the book I began on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the book/novel is written by an author that is "new" to you, then please include your weekend reads. I get the new Jonathan Franzen novel today from the AFPL, so since I never read The Corrections, this will be my first selection for this challenge. Not going to count the book I completed last Wednesday.
