1 SALEM ACADEMY DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH OUTSIDE READING REQUIREMENTS 1. During the summer holiday, all students except for Advanced Placement English Literature students must read two (2) books from the outside reading list for their particular grade level. Students in Advanced Placement English Literature must read one (1) book from their list. 2. During the winter break and January Term, all students in all grade levels will read one (1) additional book. 3. Only one (1) of the three books chosen may be a play. 4. All texts must be read in the English language. 5. Students should be prepared to bring their summer reading work(s) to class at the start of fall semester, and they should be prepared to bring their winter reading work to class at the start of the spring semester. 6. Students may read only the books listed for their particular grade level. They may not substitute other books, nor may they report on books from the list for another grade level. 7. No credit will be given for a book that has been read or studied in another class. For example, if a student reads The Good Earth for her history class, she may not use it for outside reading in English. 8. Students must have read completely each book on which they report. Failing to read and report honestly on a book constitutes a violation of Salem s Honor Code. 9. All students will be evaluated on their book choices during the first two weeks of fall and spring semesters. 10. The English department at Salem Academy does not allow the use of any such superficial and often faulty literary supplements such as Cliff s Notes, Pink Monkey, Spark Notes, and so forth. These supplements are not permitted for any outside reading texts or for classroom texts read throughout the year in any English class. A teacher will confiscate any such materials, the incident will be reported to the Honor Cabinet for cheating and plagiarism, and a student will receive a zero for that outside reading assignment. 11. No outside sources of any type are permitted for the outside reading evaluation. Be aware that online book reviews, notes on the back cover and book jacket, critical essays, or any other type of material written by someone else about your book choice gives you an unfair advantage over others. Any deliberate, careless, or negligent use of outside sources will be reported as cheating and plagiarism to the Honor Cabinet, and the student will receive a zero for that outside reading assignment.

2 English I and English I Honors Austen Christie Dickens Doyle Du Marier Shakespeare Shelley Swift Tolkein Wilde Pride and Prejudice Murder on the Orient Express Great Expectations The Hound of Baskervilles Rebecca As You Like It Frankenstein Gulliver s Travels The Hobbit The Importance of Being Earnest **During Jan-Term, ALL students will read Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
