1 Pierson Middle School Summer Reading Summer is a great time to relax, have fun and read a good book. Reading over the summer is critical to helping maintain good reading skills. Below you can find Pierson Middle School s summer reading lists by each grade. Kira McLaughlin Pierson Library
2 Incoming 6 th Grade ELA/Social Studies 2017 Summer Reading Assignment Students are required to read two books over the summer. Book #`1 - One of the books should be of the student s own choosing. It should be grade appropriate. A project based on this book will be done in ELA class at the beginning of the school year. Book #2. - The students are also required to read and do a project based on the geographical setting of a second book. The setting can be anywhere in the world! This book should be historical fiction or non-fiction. Pierson librarian, Kira McLaughlin, has provided a grade appropriate list of books that would work very well with this assignment. Your Assignment Students should follow these guidelines for completing the Geography Project: Students should create their project on a 5 inch X 8 inch index card (no posters!) that is lined on one side and blank on the other. Share the cards with friends, or the remainder of the pack of cards can be used throughout the school year. On the lined side of the card (done neatly in ink):
3 1. Name of student 2. Title of Book read and author of book 3. Geographical Setting: Geographical or physical setting tells about where events take place and where characters live and interact. The location can be realistically identified on a map. Geographical setting might be described as specific locations such as: continent, country, state/province, city, town and/or terrain (specific mountain, ocean, canyon, etc.). Include as much information as possible. If your book has more than one geographical setting, chose one to describe on your card. 4. Topic/Main idea of the book (one or two sentences): 5. Three (3) Interesting Facts or Something I Learned about the geographical setting of this book On the unlined side of the card - Draw a picture of anything having to do with the geographical setting of the book a map, a scene from the book, etc. Color & creativity are expected.
4 Grade 6 Suggestions for Book 2 Around the World Follow the link above to read reviews of award winning or notable recommended reading for the IB Middle Years Program. Wishing you a healthy, safe, and adventurous summer! MS. McLaughlin: Pierson Library
5 Grade 7 Historical Fiction Follow the link above for selected titles which cover topics explored in 7th Grade Social Studies. These titles were chosen based on their literary quality as well as their historical accuracy. Wishing you a happy, healthy, and adventurous summer! Ms. McLaughlin Pierson Library
6 Incoming 7th Graders - Summer Reading Please choose an historical fiction book of your choice and your reading level. Pierson librarian Ms. McLaughlin, has provided you with some selections. See her slide, and just click on the link Grade 7 Historical Fiction Choose one of the following project ideas to share your story with us. Along with the requirements mentioned, please include your name, the title of your book, and the author. This project will be due Wednesday, September 20th, Any questions? nlowell@sagharborschools.org
7 Journal your book: Follow the events of the novel and give your chosen character's impressions and reflections on those events. Who does the character interact with? How does the character feel about the other characters? Who does he/she turn to for support? Is there any anger or frustration in her voice or a sense of relief? Pick this project if you feel like the book's characters really came alive for you. A minimum of 10 journal entries; each entry should be at least one paragraph. Write Letters Between Characters: This project can be done in two ways. You could write letters back and forth between two characters from your book or you could write letters between one character in your book and another person from literature or history. Choose this project if you think interaction between characters is more interesting. A minimum of 5 exchanges, equalling 10 letters is required. Make an illustrated timeline of the novel. You must illustrate 10 different events/scenes from the book you selected. Your illustrations must be put in proper order for your book, and should show the characters and events of importance throughout your story. Be sure to include a written explanation of the scene and why you chose each scene (one paragraph). Illustrations will be graded on quality and must be in color. Remember, your project must include plot events. Create a newspaper for the town/city your story takes place in. Have the stories and features of the newspaper be about the characters and events in your novel. Your newspaper should contain information about the characters, setting, plot, and theme(s) of the novel. The newspaper should be informative and must contain text and pictures. You could include editorials, weather reports, sports, reports, feature stories. Be creative! You can make as many newspapers as you wish, but be sure to include a minimum of 10 sections. So you can have 3 newspapers with 4 sections in each, or 2 newspapers with 5 sections, 1 newspaper with 10 sections, or any combination. Compare and Contrast: Find similarities and differences between the life of one of the characters and your life today. Try to find at least 10 similarities and differences and write them down on a T-chart.
8 Incoming 8 th Grade - Summer Reading 2017 Mrs. Farrell Book in a Cereal Box Project & Presentation DUE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL You are required to read one book of choice this summer and complete a complimentary project. In effort to come back to school and have some fun book talks each student will be required to create a Book in a Cereal Box. You need to sell and market your book to make people want to read it!! PART 1: Read any book of choice. Need help finding one go to the following online resources: - Check out my eboard and view the list of books read by 8 th graders this past school year - Read the Teen s Top Ten, books nominated by teens (12 to 18): - Visit Storysnoops.com and search by topics of interest, age range, reading level, and more: Before you commit to the book, read reviews online and read the first page or two before you buy it. Does it hook you? If not, put it back and keep looking.
9 PART 2: Find an empty cereal box On the Outside of the box 1. Cut out construction paper to fit each side of the box and glue it in place. 2. Create a cereal title for the front of the box that gives the readers an idea of what the book was about. For example, if you are doing a report on Hatchet, you might title your cereal "Wilderness Crunch." Also write the book title and the author on the bottom. 3. Draw a picture to show a scene from the book on the front of the cereal box under the title you choose. 4. Write "Ingredients" on one side of the cereal box and list things that happened in your book: time period, setting, characters, problems and resolutions. 5. Write "Nutritional Information" on the other side of the box and list a percentage of the following things the person will get from the book: action; humor; history; drama; suspense. For example: 70% drama, 20% suspense and 10% action. 6. Write a slogan that fits your book on the back of the cereal box. Think about something that sounds like it fits with cereal, such as Tony the Tiger's "They're GREAT." 7. Draw another scene from the book under that phrase.
10 **Your goal is to decorate the box to convey some of the major details (setting, plot, characters, themes, etc.) found in the book you read. BE CREATIVE! Inside the box Place the following required items inside the cereal box. 8. Vocabulary Cards- Create a ten word glossary on index cards with definitions of unfamiliar words from the book. If you no longer have the book, find ten new words that connect to the characters, storyline, plot, etc. at random from the dictionary. 9. Things- Include at least (7) objects that have a connection to the story. These items can represent the setting, characters, conflicts etc. During your presentation, you will explain the significance of those objects and why you chose to include them in the cereal box. For example if you were creating a cereal box on The Giver you might put in a sled, red hair, a teddy bear, etc. If you don t have these items, draw or print them out on paper. 10. Diary entry- Write a diary entry from the point of view of a main character. The entry should include the character s feelings and thoughts and should be at least one page in length. 11. Your opinion- on an index card, write a 1-2 paragraph reflection and your opinion of the book. Did you like it? Why or why not? Would you recommend it to others? 12. Place your name and English period on the bottom of the box.
11 PART 3: BE PREPARED TO SHARE YOU CAN USE THIS GUIDE DURING YOUR 10 PRESENTATION! YOUR PROJECT WILL BE DISPLAYED! Presentation: Be prepared, organized and calm when you present. Your voice needs to be clear, loud and you need to speak slowly. Also, look up and make eye contact. Material to Cover: 1. Title/Author/Genre 2.What is the setting? When & Where? What is the culture?
