Tic-Tac-Toe Book Report
For your tic-tac-toe book report, you must first read a fictional book that is at
least 100-150 pages long and approved by your teacher. Then you must complete
your tic-tac-toe book report. Just like the game tic-tac-toe, you need to choose
three squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to each other to get credit.
This is a three-part project, but it does allow you some choice. All parts of your
book report project are due Tuesday, April 23rd. At the time you present your
