1 June 1, 2012 John F. Kennedy High School Summer Reading for 2012 Dear Students and Parents/Guardians, Research shows that well-read students have advanced vocabularies and are sensitive to the nuances of language. Also, research strongly suggests that reading, like most skills, improves with practice and decreases when we don t engage in it for even a short time. Consistent with our commitment to student success during high school and after graduation, each student enrolled in an English course for the school year is required to complete summer reading as specified below. Students enrolled in ESOL classes will choose one or more books from the lists provided and complete the attached graphic organizer and writing assignment. Students who are also enrolled in English classes will need to complete the summer reading assignment for the English department as well. Yes that means two separate projects! Check the public library or local bookstore for your selections. Books may also be checked out from the John F. Kennedy High School library. Check with Ms. Jones in the Media Center for which dates are available. Bring your school I.D. START READING NOW!!! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL AUGUST!! DO NOT COPY FROM THE INTERNET!!! A FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT WILL RESULT IN AN E. Students who transfer between schools during the summer are expected to complete the assignment for either school. As you read the book(s), complete a graphic organizer (attached) for your book. The scoring rubric is also attached. Use it to make sure you have completed all parts of the assignment. The assignments are due to your ESOL teachers on the second day of school, Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Ivan J. Aranha ESOL Resource Teacher John F. Kennedy High School
2 Writing Assignment For each book you read, you should write a summary. The components of the summary are the same for every ESOL level, although some levels will have to do more writing than others. Title: Don t forget to capitalize correctly and underline! Subject: What is the story generally about? Who?: Who is/are the main character(s) in the story? Where and When?: Where and when does the story take place? What is the setting? What?: What happens in the story? What is the main idea or problem? How?: How do the main characters solve the problem? Why?: Why is this book worth reading? Students entering ESOL 2: Complete the graphic organizer and write a short summary of one book. Students entering ESOL 3: Read a total of four books (or more) in English. Read for at least 30 minutes a day. Every day, record your progress in a reading log. As you read, keep a vocabulary journal where you record the page number, sentence where found, definition in your language, part of speech (noun, verb, adverb, adjective, etc.), and an original sentence of your own. The reading log and vocabulary journal are due on August 30. Choose your favorite book from the four (or more) and write a book report. Your report must be typed and must include: protagonist, characters, setting, plot, and theme (main idea). Students entering ESOL 4: Read two books. Fill out the graphic organizer for both books. Then write a two-page summary for each book. DO NOT COPY YOUR REPORT FROM THE INTERNET. Teachers can tell when you write the summary or if you, plagiarized!

5 Summer Reading EXEMPLAR : The Amigo Brothers by Piri Thomas By Mr. Aranha In the book, the Amigo Brothers, by Piri Thomas, the author tells an inspiring story about two young boys who learn the value of friendship and the dangers of competition. The story takes place during the summer, in Spanish Harlem, located in New York City. Thomas describes the busy streets, the noisy neighbors shouting at night, and the local community areas like the park and community centers. The setting affects the story because it creates a lot of tension for the main characters and the readers as well. The main characters are Antonio Cruz and Felix Vargas. Both characters are seventeen years old, Puerto Rican, and love boxing. Antonio is light skinned, tall, skinny, and has a faster style of boxing. Felix is dark skinned, muscular, short, and has a more powerful style. They have known each other all their lives. They constantly train together, joke around, and they share their dreams about becoming professional boxers one day as if they were brothers. Each character is important because their dreams and friendship become the central conflict. The story begins when Antonio and Felix are training one day and they realize that they will have to fight each other in an important Championship Tournament. Although they have trained and sparred with one another, they feel uncomfortable about putting their friendship at risk. On page 136, Felix states, Let s stop a while, bro. I think we both got something to say to each other. They basically discuss the how their upcoming match might put their friendship at risk and they decide not to let it do so. They will fight like professionals and still be friends afterwards. The conflict intensifies one day when Antonio and Felix realize that it will become to difficult to train together and still fight each other seriously. They eventually decide not see each other until the day of the fight because they want to make sure that they don t pull punches when it is time to fight and that they will give it their best. Therefore, they train in different parts of the city. Thomas describes each character s training as they find it difficult to sleep, focus, and not worry about the other friend. This only builds their tension. When they do finally fight, they fight like cats and dogs. They are relentless and try to destroy each other. Even the audience watches in silence. However, the story ends without the reader knowing who the victor is. Antonio and Felix walk out of the boxing ring and the reader is left wondering what happened. In conclusion, I would recommend this book because it teaches a valuable lesson about friendship. Thomas never tells the reader who won the fight because the boys friendship is the most important thing. He forces the reader to learn this lesson because he never tell us who won. I would recommend this story to teenagers because the vocabulary is easy to understand and the characters are teenagers and it is easy to relate to them. If I could make any changes to improve the story, I might add some scenes that show the boys parents or their family members. This would help the reader understand more about the characters.
