1 Pre-AP 9 th Grade Summer Reading Assignments Ms. Halada (jehalada@dcboe.com) & Mrs. Miller (mmiller@dcboe.com) Due Date: Friday, August 7, 2015 Congratulations on your enrollment in the 9 th Grade Pre-AP Literature & Composition class for the school year! This Pre-AP class includes a summer reading component with required reading and responding. Getting started in the summer provides you with initial preparation for the course you will take next year and allows you the flexibility to work on your own schedule at your own pace; however, do not wait until the last minute to complete the three assignments! Regardless of when you have the class, 1 st or 2 nd semester, these three assignments are due by August 7 th. Please turn in your assignments to Ms. Halada, room 6102 or Mrs. Miller, room Completed assignments may be submitted early at the BHS Back to School Open House Thursday, August 6th. 1. Book Cards for Animal Farm by George Orwell 2. Double-Entry Journal based on a Pre-AP Summer Reading Book of Choice 3. Pre-AP Literary Vocabulary Flash Cards Purchasing Animal Farm is not required but strongly suggested, so you can make annotations inside your own personal copy while closely reading the novel. The annotation process can often become tedious and time consuming; however, if notations are purposefully done, you should experience greater success with insight and understanding of a literary work. WE ANNOTATE EVERYTHING WE READ IN PRE-AP. If purchasing the book is not possible due to financial hardship, a limited number of copies of the book may be checked out on a first come, first serve basis from Carol Widner, Secondary Literacy Coach at Bainbridge Middle School. The books will be turned back in with the summer reading assignments. If the book has been damaged in any way or has been written in, the student is then responsible for the cost of the book. Animal Farm is a classic and can also be found online for free download from various websites. Students may also check out a copy of the novel from the public library. ***NOTE - Students are asked to use their own thoughts, observations, and words on these assignments. Copying information from Sparknotes.com, Enotes.com, or any other source is prohibited and considered plagiarism and is unacceptable. Students must remember that Mrs. Miller and Ms. Halada have access to these same sources and will be checking. We look forward to working with you in 9th grade Pre-AP English. ***Take risks with these assignments don t worry about whether your reaction is the right one or not just let it be yours and not compliments of Sparknotes. Have a great summer, and we look forward to meeting you in the fall. Please one of the Pre-AP Lit./Comp. teachers if you have ANY questions. addresses are given above.

Pre-AP Summer Reading Choice List: Double-Entry Journal Assignment #2
3 Directions: Read and select one book from the list of young adult books listed below. While you read a book of your choice, you will complete a double-entry journal as outlined on the reverse of this assignment. The use of a journal will help you discover meaning through the rethinking of what you have read. It is a place for you to examine your own experiences, feelings, and values as well as a means to gain insight into a world different than your own. Furthermore it is a way to begin to analyze the literary elements of literature, including characterization, setting conflict, style, and theme. Choose a book that you have not read! Your double-entry journal must include a minimum of eight direct quotations taken from the book and a reflective response for each of the quotations. 1. A Separate Peace by John Knowles 2. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Sherman Alexie 3. Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson 4. The Call of the Wild by Jack London 5. **The Chosen by Chaim Potok 6. **Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Anna Burns 7. **The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien 8. Eleanor & Park by Rowell Rainbow 9. Half a King by Joe Abercrombie 10. **The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros 11. **Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer 12. Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer 13. Lord of Opium by Nancy Farmer 14. Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick 15. **The Outsiders S.E. Hinton 16. Red Rising by Pierce Brown 17. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater 18. Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupis 19. **Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene 20. This One Summer by Jillian & Mariko Tamaki Books indicated with ** are books you may check out from your teacher and will not have to purchase; however, you are not allowed to write in them or damage them in any way or will have to pay for them. Double-Entry Journal Directions:
4 As you read your novel of choice, you will make connections to the text. You will then compose eight journal entries: four personal connections and four intertextual connections with explanations for each. Following the model from The Story of the Three Bears below, number each entry, write the quotation including page and paragraph number, identify the type of connection, and compose a response of at least two sentences. Personal Connection Contemplate how the quotation connects to some aspect of your personal knowledge and experience. The quotation may remind you of a situation you have been in, seen, or read about. Intertextual Connection Think about how the quotation connects to another text (literature, film, media, music, or art). Consider similarities that the two texts share (characterization, mood, plot, setting, theme, tone), and discuss how the two texts relate to one another. Sample: Double-Entry Journal The Story of the Three Bears Quotation Connection Explanation 1 If Goldilocks had remembered what her mother had told her, she would have waited till the Bears came home, and then, perhaps, they would have asked her to breakfast; for they were good Bears--a little rough, as the manner of Bears is, but for all that very good-natured and hospitable. But Goldilocks forgot, and set about helping herself (1, paragraph 2). personal As a child, I had and still do have a strong memory. I did not, as Goldilocks does, forget my mother s advice. I simply chose to ignore it often and make my own decisions. Thus, negative consequences were often crucial learning experiences for me. 2 Then Goldilocks went upstairs into the bed-chamber in which the Three Bears slept. And first she lay down upon the bed of the Great Huge Bear; but that was too high at the head for her. And next she lay down upon the bed of the Middle-sized Bear, and that was too high at the foot for her. And then she lay down upon the bed of the Little Small Wee Bear; and that was neither too high at the head nor at the foot, but just right. So she covered herself up comfortably, and lay there till she fell fast asleep (1, paragraph 5). intertextual Despite being warned repeatedly about politeness by her mother, Goldilocks cannot seem to control her selfish desires. The story suggests that Goldilocks, fast asleep, may be punished for her lack of self-control, much like the thoughtless and greedy suitors are punished by Odysseus for attempting to steal his wife Penelope and his kingdom of Ithaca (Homer s Odyssey). Pre-AP 9 th Grade Literature & Composition Summer Assignment #3: Flash Cards
5 The process of making flash cards helps commit the information to memory. Use 4 x 6 index cards and print (very neatly) the word on one side of the card, and on the other side, print a definition of the term. Write with consistent, clear handwriting on blank cards. Use a highlighter or pen to underline the key words in longer definitions or answers. (Test your pen or marker on a spare card to make sure the ink is clearly visible but does not bleed through the paper.) The Pre-AP terminology listed below comes from the 9 th Grade Skill Progression Chart for AP Vertical Teaming and the CCGPS Recommended Vocabulary for Teaching and Learning grades 9-10: 1. Annotation 2. Generalization 3. Archetypes 4. Epiphany 5. Colloquialisms 6. Diction 7. Connotation 8. Denotation 9. Understatement 10. Euphemism 11. Oxymoron 12. Allusion 13. Motif 14. Syntax 15. Antithesis 16. Juxtaposition 17. Asyndeton 18. Polysyndeton 19. Ellipsis 20. Anaphora 21. Epistrophe 22. Parallelism (used in writing) 23. Fallacy 24. Synecdoche 25. Metonymy 26. Assonance 27. Iambic Pentameter 28. Character Foil 29. Parody 30. Satire Study the flash cards before starting school in August. These academic vocabulary words, along with the terms you have already acquired in middle school, will be utilized in the close reading, application, and stylistic analysis of more complex reading, grammar, and composition.
