1 EAST GRANBY HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER READING 2016 Mr. David Peling, Principal Summer reading is an important component of an overall reading program. Research shows that summer vacation often has a significant negative effect on student learning. Providing opportunities for students to read regularly during the summer can prevent documented reading achievement losses. The bottom line is that students who read during the summer do better in the fall. National Council of Teachers of English website. All students are required to read two books from the suggested reading lists. One book must be from List A and another from List B. Students have a choice of books from both lists and have assessment options for books in List B. AP Art History and AP U.S. History students need to choose a book from List A and also complete requirements listed for their AP subject s summer reading in place of their List B book. Detailed information is on Edline under Summer Reading.
2 Assignment for List A While reading the required book from List A, students are expected to participate as active readers and must prepare a set of note cards for their chosen book. Students must organize the cards in the following categories and are expected to have multiple cards for each category: Card Category #1 ~ List and describe the characters, and explain how each develops in the book. Your character descriptions should include detailed descriptions of each significant character. Quote significant passages. Card Category #2 ~ Describe the major settings and how each enhances the tone and/or message of the book. Be descriptive and specific. Include specific scenes or imagery which caught your attention. Quote significant passages. Card Category #3 ~ Identify and explain the underlying messages or themes. Use quotes to support your point. Card Category #4 ~ Identify (6) incidents that influenced the outcome of the story (include incidents from the beginning, middle and end of the book). Card Category #5 ~ Write a brief response to the novel. Jot down your opinions regarding the merits of the book. Were your predictions realized? Did you enjoy the book? Why or why not? Include any questions you may have had while reading. When students return to school, they must come prepared on the first day, September 1 st, 2016, with their note cards to begin the assessment process. This process will require students to share their information and, after a thorough analysis, to write and edit an essay. Failure to bring the note cards will result in loss of credit for that portion of the project. The essay prompt for grades 9 and 10 will critique the work for its literary value, based on such elements as character development, setting, structure, and the novel s message or theme. In alignment with the Common Core, students must support their findings and positions with evidence from the book. The essay prompt for grades 11 and 12 will analyze and critique the work for literary elements in alignment with the senior research project. In the fall, teachers will facilitate discussions on each of the topics above and guide students through the writing process. Each student will develop his or her essay in draft form during the first week of school and have an opportunity to revise the essay. The grade will count toward the first quarter English grade.

4 Book List B Assessment Options All students will select and read a second book from List B. A Making Connections session will be scheduled during the first few days of school for each student to meet with the teacher sponsoring their Book B choice. During this session, each student will make an appointment with the sponsoring teacher and complete an assessment that will demonstrate the student s understanding of the book. This assessment needs to be completed by September 23 rd, Each teacher has chosen an assessment(s) for the book(s) they contributed to the list. A detailed description of each assessment can be found on Edline under each book summary. The assessment will be turned in to and graded by the sponsoring teacher. The grade will count toward the first quarter English grade. Please note that any evidence of plagiarism will have a serious and negative impact on this grade. Failure to complete the assignment and turn it in by September 23 rd, 2016 will result in a 0 for the assignment.
