2 9 th Grade AICE English Language The following assignments are due on the first day of school. Anthem After reading Ayn Rand's Anthem, you will need to identify five objects that have a relation to the book. You will create a chart to explain their significance. The grading standard is below. Your name should be written visibly on the upper right-hand corner of the chart You must select five significant items that depict some portion of the novel. These items may be anything you think is appropriate. Use your imagination! chose the item and how it relates to the book A detailed written explanation of each significant item selected in a chart format. The title of the chart should read "Anthem: My Representations." The chart should have the name of the item on the left side and the explanation on the right. The explanation should clearly explain both why you chose the item and how it relates to the book. Choose ONE of the following three topics. Write an essay discussing your topic. Your essay must demonstrate an outstanding grasp of the philosophic meaning of Anthem. 1. Equality states that it is very unusual for men to reach the age of 45 (Chapter 1). Consistent with the story and its meaning, offer several possible explanations as to why life expectancy is so short in his society. 2. Anthem is a heroic and inspiring story about the triumph of the individual s independent spirit. Even though, at the end of the novel, Equality is greatly outnumbered, and modern society lies in ruins, it is a story of liberation and hope not despair. Discuss. 3. In a single, unified essay, explain the meaning and wider significance of each of the following quotes in the story: o The glass box in our arms is like a living heart that gives us strength. We have lied to ourselves. We have not built this box for the good of our brothers (Chapter 7). o I wished to know the meaning of things. I am the meaning (Chapter 11). o I owe nothing to my brothers, nor do I gather debts from them (Chapter 11). Alas. Babylon After reading Pat Frank's Alas. Babylon, you will need to create TWO separate brochures for Fort Repose, Florida: one depicting life before the apocalypse and one depicting life after the apocalypse. These should look like an authentic brochure. The grading standard is below: Your name should be in the bottom right-hand corner of each brochure. The first brochure should have at least five clearly explained details accurately depicting life in Fort Repose, Florida, before the apocalypse. The second brochure should have at least five clearly explained details accurately depicting life in Fort Repose, Florida, after the apocalypse. The brochures need only be on one side of the paper, should truly look like a brochure, include colorful images and lettering, and should be neat. Be prepared for a test on both summer reading assignment books.
3 10 th Grade AICE English Literature 1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Project: Create a newspaper that might have been published in Maycomb. Your newspaper format design should be authentic to the time period and should include the following: Several articles about current events in the novel (These should answer the journalistic questions who, what, where, when, why, and how). An editorial about a controversial issue facing the people of Maycomb. A church news article A letter to the editor from a citizen of Maycomb. Obituaries and advertisements Headlines Create a name for the newspaper You will be graded on your creativity, effort, writing, comprehension, and the criteria above. Be sure to add your own twist to what is listed above. 2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Project: A Literary Journal 1. While you are reading, you will keep a reflection journal. Reflections are thoughts, so as you are reading you should record your thoughts in your journal. Journals may be set up by chapter or by page numbers, but the entire novel should be covered without skipping parts. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A SUMMARY OF EACH SECTION OF THE NOVEL. Here are some questions to consider as you are reading: What questions or thoughts come to you as you are reading? What is the author s purpose in this passage? Did your thoughts or feelings change as you read? Any surprises? What point is the author trying to make? What do you think of the author s writing style? Is there a literary element used in this section and if so, what is its significance? What do you notice about the character(s)? Actions? Speech? Descriptions? Be sure to include examples from the novel to support what you say. The questions listed above are to help you get started. Your thoughts are not limited to what is listed above. 2. After you have completed the journal, do the following: A. Write a detailed description of each main character in the novel B. Write a detailed description of the setting. Why do you think the setting is significant? C. Choose 5 quotes from the novel that you consider to be significant. Create a two column chart. In the left column, write the quote including the page number and in the right column, write an explanation on the significance of the quote to the themes addressed in the novel. D. Explain why you think this book is considered a classic. Why do we still read this book today?
4 11 th Grade AICE US History After reading When in the Course of Human Events: Arguing the Case for Southern Secession, (author Charles Adams), including the introduction and reflections, answer the following questions in well-developed paragraphs.

Why was the possibility of Southern free ports of concern to Northerners? 4 Discuss Lincoln s unconstitutional actions and account for Congress lack of action (impeachment). 5 Why has the war been labeled the rich man s war? 6 How did the British press view the war? 7 Was slavery the cause of the war? Explain. 8 Did Confederate soldiers view the war as a Just War?

5 11th Grade AICE English Language Criteria for Book Selection: The AICE English Language Instructor believes this list Represents a variety of genres and a balance of classical and contemporary literature; Pays attention to general student interests as well as to specific gender interests; Contains books that have received favorable reviews and awards; Supplements the core curriculum, includes title of interest, and exposes students to important issues within American History and Literature Includes books that the instructor finds to be exceptionally well-suited to assist the students with their intellectual, emotional, and character development. What Research Says About Reading: The following points are from Reading In and Out of Schools, a publication prepared by the Educational Testing Service for the US Department of Education, and Patterns of Reading Practice, a publication of The Institute for Academic Excellence. The amount of reading that students do for school, and do out of school are both positively related their reading achievement.
