1 English 10 World Literature Gifted Summer Reading 1 Purpose Spring-Ford High School English 10 World Literature Gifted Summer Reading 2017 Mrs. Ritter jritt@spring-ford.net My goal for you this summer is for you to find at least two texts that rekindle your love for reading, challenge your understandings of the world, and transport you. Your goal will be first and foremost, to select texts that you find intriguing. I have provided a list of the texts on page 2. It is your job to evaluate the topics you are interested in and determine which texts will most help you achieve our goals. Do a little bit of preliminary research to ensure that you select books that appeal to your sensibilities as a reader. Once you choose two texts from the list, you should find them at your local library, on the Kindle store, at the Towne Book Center (present your student ID for a discount), or at any other book store. Bring the texts with you when we return to school. Once you have selected and found copies of your texts, read. Lay by the pool or on the beach, curl up in the corner of a couch, turn off your phones and the television and all other distractions, and read. Unless you give yourself a fair chance to understand and interact with the text, you will not be transported. After you have completed the reading, interact with the text, evaluating how it helps inform your knowledge of the essential questions on page 2 which we will analyze throughout the course of the year. Details about how you will interact with the texts are located under Assignment Directions on page 3. Bring your texts, essential question responses, and essay to school on MONDAY, AUGUST 28 th. Standard Targets Reading Literature 1.3.D Determine the point of view of the text and analyze the impact the point of view has on the meaning of the text. 1.3.F Analyze how an author s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it, and manipulate time create an effect. Writing 1.4.S Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research, applying grade-level reading standards for literature and literary nonfiction.
2 English 10 World Literature Gifted Summer Reading 2
3 English 10 World Literature Gifted Summer Reading 3 Assignment Directions 1. Chose two texts from the list on page Read each text in its entirety. 3. For each text, find ONE quote related to each of the three Essential Questions provided on page 4. Explain how the quote provides us with an answer to the question. Please type your responses in Times New Roman 12 font, double-spaced. If you do not have access to a computer, please write legibly using the Graphic Organizer template on pages In total, students should identify 6 quotes. Please remember to identify the page number where you located the quote using a proper MLA in-text citation. Proper MLA citation for a text with an author: (Author s last name page number). Example: (Hosseini 311). 4. In addition to completing the assignment in step 3, you must also write a literary analysis essay on one of the texts. This essay is due on the first day of school. We will use this essay as a starting point for the writing process. (You will write a second essay following your return to school in the fall.) Choose one of the six prompts on page 4 as the focus for your analysis. Be sure to cite the text to support your argument. Each body paragraph should include at least one textual citation. Ex: (Hosseini 67). Essays should be typed, double spaced, Times New Roman, size 12 font. Stay focused on analyzing the literature throughout your essay; do not merely summarize the plot. Include the following first page heading (instead of the typical MLA heading) for this particular assignment so that I know which text and prompt you have chosen: Name Gifted English 10 Summer Reading Prompt # Novel Title Date
4 English 10 World Literature Gifted Summer Reading 4 Essential Questions 1. What does it mean to be human, and how is the human experience expressed through literature? 2. What is the good life? How should people live? 3. What can be gained from learning about other people s cultures and beliefs? Prompts: 1. An individual's struggle toward understanding and awareness is a traditional subject for the novelist. In an essay, apply this statement to one of the novels you read this summer. Compare the protagonist as we see him/her in an early scene with the protagonist as we see him/her in a scene near the end of the novel. Discuss the techniques that the author uses to reveal the new understanding and awareness that the protagonist has achieved and consider how this relates to the meaning the author is trying to convey. 2. Frequently in novels, an important character violates the laws, conventions, or rules of conduct of his/her society. Identify an important character who goes against the grain of his/her society and analyze how this relates to the author s purpose. 3. In retrospect, the reader often discovers that the first chapter of a novel introduces some of the major themes of the work. Write an essay in which you analyze how the first chapter sets forth a major theme of the work. While identifying how the first chapter lays the foundation for a larger meaning of the work will be the focus of your analysis, you will also need to raise examples from later in the novel to illustrate how that theme is developed on the foundation of the opening chapter. 4. An effective literary work does not merely stop or cease; it concludes. In an essay, discuss the ending of the novel. Explain precisely how and why the ending appropriately or inappropriately concludes the work. Go beyond simply expressing your opinion as to whether you liked or disliked the ending. Consider whether the ending accomplishes or undermines the author s purpose. 5. Select an important character who is a villain. Then, analyze the nature of the character's villainy. It is not sufficient to simply prove that a particular character is a villain. Be sure to go deeper and explore how the character s villainy enhances the meaning of the work. 6. Some pieces of literature advocate changes in traditions, social expectations, or political attitudes. Identify the particular social conventions that the author apparently wishes to modify. Then, analyze the techniques the author uses to influence the reader's views on the historical setting in particular or on society in general.
5 English 10 World Literature Gifted Summer Reading 5 Spring-Ford High School English 10 World Literature Gifted Summer Reading 2016 Graphic Organizer Directions: Use the worksheet below to complete the required Essential Questions assignment. You will complete this graphic organizer twice, once for each text. Please type your responses in Times New Roman 12 font, double-spaced. If you do not have access to a computer, please write legibly. Bring your work to school on August 28, Quote and citation: Include the exact quote from the text and include the correct citation. A correct citation includes the author s last name and the page number from which the quote was taken. Example: He s their puppet. They ll keep the war going through him, you can bet on that (Hosseini 155). Analysis: Analyze the quote and explain the effect that the quote has on the novel. In your analysis consider the speaker (point of view), the context, and the significance of the quote to character, theme, and/or plot. Also discuss tone, diction, mood, figurative language, and any symbols in the quote. Each analysis should be no less than 100 words and no more than 250 words. Relate to Essential Question: Include an explanation showing how the quote answers the essential question. Each analysis should be no less than 100 words and no more than 250 words.
