1 Trinity Christian School 11 th grade Summer Reading Summer 2015 Dear Trinity Christian School Students and Families: It has been a pleasure to get to know the creative and intellectual strengths of each of our students through the junior high/high school English program. This letter describes the summer reading program for the school year. Comprehensive high school testing becomes terribly important when it comes to college acceptance. Reading for understanding and appreciation is a skill which translates to every other academic area. Our desire is that these reading assignments will provide students with the opportunity to read a literary work of interest to them as well as a time- honored classic chosen by their teacher. The goal this summer is to read for enjoyment as well as enlightenment. Please note that effort was taken to select a variety of books, including classics, biographies of inspirational Christians, and books by well known Christian authors. We encourage parents to be involved in their child's selection, and although these books have been recommended to be summer reading books by colleges and other Christian schools, we realize that not all the books may be deemed appropriate by all families. To this end, each grade level has a compilation of books specifically for each grade. The summer reading program requirements are attached. Provided is a list of books for each grade level as well as the requirements of the summer reading program in detail. Please call the school office if you have any questions. Have a wonderful summer as we look forward to a fantastic year. Blessings, TCS Secondary English Teachers
2 11 th Grade Required Summer Reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson In the swashbuckling adventure, Treasure Island, young Jim Hawkins, after finding an old map, embarks on a great treasure hunt where he is chased by pirates and villains, including the infamous Long John Silver. Student Choices The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne Set during World War II, a story seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a concentration camp, whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and unexpected consequences David Copperfield by Charles Dickens This classic is more or less an autobiography of Charles Dickens' life. "More or less" meaning that in most cases he does not use actual names, but makes up the scenery names of the people, but the events and general meaning remain the same. In a very interesting manner, Dickens narrates about David's life as a young boy and also as a young man. Through Flood and Flame by Henry Charles Moore An inspiring, uplifting, and challenging book on various Christian martyrs traveling down the pages of history. The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave written by himself The autobiography of an escaped slave who became an eloquent spokesman for the Abolitionist Movement. *There are several websites where this book can be downloaded. The Iliad- by Homer The "Iliad" can justly be called "the world's greatest war novel." The terrible and long- drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns, and the heroism and treachery of the combatants have been unmatched. The Chosen- by Chaim Potok Chaim Potok's book The Chosen is a fictional book giving insight on the friendship of two young Jewish men. One is a Hasidic the other a reformed Jew, both from very different worlds. Walden- by Henry David Thoreau Walden is 'Thoreau's autobiographical account of his experiment in solitary living, his refusal to play by the rules of hard work and the accumulation of wealth, and above all, the freedom it gave him to adapt his living to the natural world around him. Moby Dick by Herman Melville - The classic saga of Captain Ahab and his monomaniacal pursuit of the white whale remains a peerless adventure story but one full of mythic grandeur, poetic majesty, and symbolic power. The Imam s Daughter: My Desperate Flight to Freedom by Hannah Shah (autobiography) - Offering a remarkable look at the lifestyle and beliefs of her family, and the rigid ideas of shame and honor they used to oppress her, The Imam s Daughter also shines a light on contemporary Muslim culture. Most of all, though, this is the inspiring story of Hannah Shah herself-how, through her courage and tenacity, she broke free from her culture and embraced a new life in the world beyond its confines The Slumber of Christianity by Ted Dekker - This is not one of Ted Dekker s typical books; rather than being a book of fiction, it is a look at the disillusionment that has lulled many Christians into indifference and how to awaken to embrace a new and living hope. Philosophy Made Slightly Less Difficult by DeWeese, Moreland - The authors explain philosophical concepts that affect all believers in easy-to-understand English What s so Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey - Yancey explores the question of what grace looks like in action ( on the street level ). Basic Christianity by John Stott - This classic book examines the historical facts on which Christianity is founded
3 Trinity Christian School Summer Reading Completion Form This form and the two book reports/ forms are due the first day of class Point deduction for each day late: 10 from the summer reading grade Signing this form is an indication of a student s good faith effort to read the text of the assigned novel in a close rather than superficial manner. Reading Cliff Notes, Spark Notes, Pink Monkey, Barron s, etc., listening to an audio book or watching a movie version are NOT substitutes for reading the novel. Such activities do not qualify a student as having completed the summer reading requirement nor do they promote the growth in language and imaginative experience that we view as important for our students. The student must read the selected book this summer and not fill out the report based on having read or listened to the book in the past. Student name: Class: On my honor, I have completely read the unabridged text of the summer reading books listed below. Student Signature and Date Title Date Completed For the parents: My student has completed the summer reading assignments according to the above requirements.
