Summer+Reading

Summer Reading 2009!

 Your reading will need to be completed over summer vacation, so that you will be prepared to discuss your chosen novel during the first week of school. As your teachers, we will be assessing your knowledge and understanding of the reading you have finished over the summer. To help as a processing and memory aid, we encourage you to keep a reading journal summarizing important events, characters, and personal responses to make a stronger connection and gain a greater understanding of the text. ** There are a number of ways to obtain a copy the novel you have chosen (the public library, Borders, amazon.com, etc.), and it is your responsibility to do so. Start with the library, but don’t be afraid to ask around, or order books with your friends as a group to lower costs and eliminate shipping fees. You will be evaluated on your novel well beyond the terms outlined on spark notes or other shortcuts, so it is imperative that you read the novel in full, as this will be your first English grade for the new school year. ** The above link (titled "Summer Reading 2009") has a link to the Summer Reading Program for the 2009-2010 school year. Click on the link and explore the world of great reads for this summer! The left hand column of the wiki has a list of possible novels you can read. Read through the book summaries and watch the youtube clips provided, and decide which book seems most intersting to you. You will be choosing a novel with your English classes, and will sign up in the library towards the end of May. **
