1 Parents and Students: We wish you an enjoyable and relaxing summer. Reading over the summer should not only benefit you academically, but it should also be fun. We have included your 2016 summer reading list. Each student in grades 7-12 is required to read two books, one book selection is chosen for you and for the other you will have some choice. Each reading list includes a description of what will be expected of you when you return to school. Reading is vitally important to academic achievers. By sixth grade, summer reading loss alone would create an 18 month reading gap. Simply by enjoying a few good books suggested by your instructor, and stretching the capacity of the mind over the summer, you will enter the school year better prepared for academic success. Please enjoy the reading. Remember it is a choice. Be mindful of making choices that you and your family see as stories which will both expand your knowledge and contribute to an understanding of your faith and values. Take time to choose something that you will both learn from and find pleasurable. Go to the library, the bookstore or online. Take time to review the books like you might a new movie. Read what others have said about it and read the description of the book. It s also a good idea to read a paragraph from anywhere in the book. If any part of it interests you, it might be a good choice. Sometimes it is the language used, sometimes it is the plot, but always we can recognize something we like or don t like. Use this time and this list to continue fostering your reading habits. We at First Baptist want to grow lifelong readers. Have a wonderful summer and we will see you in August. Regards, Melissa Clark English Department Chair

6 9th Grade American Literature Summer Reading Required: 2 Books 1. The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford *All 9th graders will be tested on their basic knowledge of the plot, characters, and theme of this novel during the first few weeks of school. We will use this novel in class to begin our literature study in August. 2. Choose 1 book historical fiction or non-fiction related to the Civil War. It can be a biography or autobiography written during the Civil War era, or fiction based on the Civil War era. It must be Grade 9 or above reading level. **All 9th graders will be required to present a "novel bag" presentation (guidelines will be given in class) during the first week of school on the book of their choice. A few suggestions... (You do not have to choose directly from this list.) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain A Diary from Dixie by Mary Boykin Chesnut The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane Letters from a Slave Girl: The Story of Harriet Jacobs by Mary E. Lyons Hear the Wind Blow by Mary Downing Hahn Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt
7 10th Grade World Literature Summer Reading Read one title from the following list and choose one of your own. If you think you may be interested in AP, consider googling the AP list and select a title there. Write a 2-page response on one of the books below in this fashion: Choose a character from the story and write your response in first person from that character s point of view. You can construct your piece any way you choose, but be sure to include some element of plot or point of reference in the story, how the character sees himself or other characters, what this character comes to realize as a result of his experience. DO NOT organize a paper that simply lists these three things. Be creative and let your character come to life in a unique way through your capable hands. [If you happen to have forgotten what first person means, that means you actually become the character and use the I pronoun.] McLean A River Runs Through It McCarthy All the Pretty Horses Martel Life of Pi Tan The Joy Luck Club Smith A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Clements Things Not Seen Crane The Red Badge of Courage Frazier Cold Mountain Zusak I am the Messenger Larson The Devil in the White City Non Fiction: Krakauer Into Thin Air Albom Tuesdays with Morrie
8 AP Literature Summer Reading How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster Take your time reading this one to absorb it. You will each be assigned chapters so you can show a particular literary analysis technique at work in the books you are reading. Chapters will be assigned first week of class. Great Expectations, Charles Dickens Night (I'm adding this since we didn't read it) Weisel The Power and the Glory Graham Green EXTRA CREDIT: Since many of you are avid readers you may want to Google the AP reading list just to see what titles are there. This is a huge list and may provide you with selections from which you can choose another book you ve always wanted to read but have never had the time. I realize, of course, that the required reading list may be all your interested in tackling this summer. That is fine. Just perusing the AP reading list will open your eyes to the literature that is held in esteem from a critical point of view. Finally, since one of the books on my list to read this summer is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, I throw that out as another option as well. It may not have made it to the AP list yet, but it will be on it sooner or later. Choosing a fifth title will allow you to start the semester with an extra credit 100 in the grade book. The other four titles are required and you cannot substitute for any of them. If you haven't encountered Dickens before, hang in there. He is well worth the effort and you will never forget the likes of Pip or Joe Gargery or Miss Havisham. Annotate all books as you read. That may mean you simply underline passages you deem significant, scratch down notes in the margin, or dogear a place you think you might like to return. Bring all books to Enjoy this reading for its own sake this summer. There is no writing assignment. However, your annotations should have you prepared for one as soon as you return. Enjoy and think, but hold your thoughts until August when you will have the opportunity to spill your insights upon the page. Reading quizzes are always a possibility, but no vocab this time. [OPTIONAL] AP English Literature Crash Course Manual, Dawn Hogue This one is an overview of course with book lists, categories of analysis, etc. We will cover all of this in class apart from the book but if you want to peruse the scope of the course before you get in it, this is the summary.
9 11th Grade British Literature Summer Reading: Required: 2 Books 1. Grendel, by John Gardner The first unit of the year will cover Beowulf and the Anglo-Saxons. Gardner s novel invites students to consider the events in Beowulf from a different point of view. Early assignments will relate to both works. 2. Choose 1 biography of a BRITISH PERSON This can be anyone from Winston Churchill to David Beckham to Sid Vicious but YOU must verify their nationality!! Type written response (2 paragraph minimum) using attached sentence starters. Above and Beyond: You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. Ray Bradbury The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read. Mark Twain The rewards for a summer spent reading are intangible but profound (academic, social, cultural, etc.). Please consider one of the books or authors below, and begin to reap the rewards of a reading life. Dual Credit & Honors English 12 Summer Reading
