1 English 9 Honors Summer Reading Log For the reading assignment, all incoming English 9 Honors students are required to read the following novel: Life of Pi by Yann Martel As you read each set of chapters, you will be required to keep a Reading Log that will include central questions for each chapter or group of chapters, AND vocabulary work. You will turn this log in to your English 9 Honors teacher during the first week of school. Once school begins, your teacher will let you know the exact day they will be collected. This will count as your first homework grade and will be worth 50 points. In addition, during the first few days of school we will begin our discussion of major concepts, characters, and themes in the novel. Helpful Tips: One source you can use to find literary term definitions is the Scholastic Scope Glossary of Literary Terms: LiteraryTerms.pdf Preview the questions for each section before you start reading, and mark unfamiliar words as you read for the Vocabulary Work in this packet. Page numbers will vary depending on the format of the book or e-book you use, so the Reading Log and Vocabulary Work is organized by chapters. Name: 1
