1 Summer Reading - Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 Academic All students are required to read TWO books of their choice. You may pick any title as long as it is a book appropriate for your reading level and grade. You may not select a book you have read in middle school or for your high school English classes. See Google Classroom or the Ansonia Website for a list of suggestions of current popular books, talk to your local library, check out your local bookstore, or talk to your English teacher for suggestions! All assignments will also be posted to Google Classroom. You may submit your projects on Classroom if you choose, or you may submit them to your English teacher when you return to school. All work must be wholly original. Any work that is copied or plagiarized in any way will result in an automatic zero for the assignment. Classroom Codes: Class of 2018: sxjl61 Class of 2019: uqu8ko Class of 2020: pew01c3 Class of 2021: dul8a8 If you have any questions, please rsopko@ansoniaps.org The Projects All students will complete the required assignment (Book Talk) and will choose ONE of the following project options to demonstrate their engagement with and of the books they have read. This project must be completed over the summer and is due Tuesday, September 5, Remember, this will count as the first project grade for your English class. Required Assignment: Book Talk You are reviewing a book in order to recommend it to your classmates. You will consider elements such as setting, conflict, and plot in order to determine if this book would be interesting to other students in the class. Complete the attached Book Talk Form or submit the form on Google Classroom. Choose ONE project from the list below. This project should be for a different book than you complete for the required assignment (Book Talk). Again, you many not use a book you read in an AHS English class, nor may you use a book you read in middle school. Read the project options carefully and choose the project option that best speaks to your chosen text and your personal strengths. Option 1: Diary You are writing the entries as if you are the character for which you are creating the diary, thus you will be writing in first person. Write in that character s voice. You must include at least 6 entries. Each entry must be at least 1 paragraph (6-8 sentences). Each entry must chronicle a significant event in the book. You must create entries discussing other characters, conflicts, the action, setting, and character s thoughts, feelings, and responses to what is happening. Do not simply staple notebook pages together. If possible, type your entries. You should bind your entries in a decorated binder, folder, or an actual journal/diary.
2 Option 2: Book Trailer Imagine that your book is being turned into a movie. Create a movie trailer for your chosen book. The goal is to be informative and to make people interested in reading the book. Your trailer must be 4-6 minutes and must contain video and text. Your video should give viewers a good idea of the themes, plot, characters, setting, action, conflict, and climax of the book. Be sure that the video you create is relevant to the characters, setting, etc. Writing : Provide a summary of the main events of the book. Explain the reasoning behind the images, music, and other details you chose for your trailer. This explanation must be at least 2 paragraphs. Option 3: Soundtrack/Playlist Select at least 8 appropriate songs that are meaningful to the book and create a soundtrack or playlist. Your songs must be relevant to the book and describe/symbolize the main characters, themes, conflicts, action, setting, climax, and major events/turning points in the novel. Your songs should represent all parts of the novel. You may create a CD or create a Youtube playlist. Be sure to share the link to your playlist. Writing : For each song, write a paragraph explaining how the song is relates to the characters/themes/conflicts/etc of your chosen book. Be sure to be specific and use quotes where appropriate. Does the song relate to the theme? The conflict? The characters experiences? What is it about the song that caught your attention and helped you make that connection? Be very specific. Each explanation should be 5-7 sentences per song. Option 4: Scrapbook Create a scrapbook illustrating elements of the book. You must have a minimum of 10 pages. Each page must include both images and text. Do not submit on lined paper. Each page of your scrapbook must be relevant to the book and describe/symbolize the main characters, themes, conflicts, action, setting, climax, and major events/turning points in the novel. For example, don t select scrapbook paper or images with pictures of New York City when the book takes place on a ranch in Texas. Remember, a scrapbook is not just one image per page! Writing : Each image should include a 2-3 sentence description. If possible, type your descriptions or print them in neat, clear handwriting. All projects should be colorful, neat, and creative.
3 Option 5: My Book in a Container Choose an item that is to be used as a container to hold items significant to your book. This item should also be significant to your book. Decorate this container to convey some of the major details, elements, or themes found in the book. Choose eight objects that would either be found in the book or would relate to the book in some way. Writing : For each object, write an explanation of how the object is significant/meaningful to the book. Be sure to be specific. Does the object relate to the theme? The conflict? The characters experiences? Explain the connection of the container to the story. Be very specific. Each explanation should be 3-5 sentences per object. Option 6: Reflection Write a reflection on your reading experience in which you consider the following: - What were some of major accomplishments of the person/character you chose? - What were some of the obstacles this person/character faced? - What major conflicts occurred in this person s/character s life? How did he or she triumph over adversity? Your reflection should include your thoughts and insights on the text, not merely a summary of what you have read. Your reflection should be 2-3 pages. Option 7: Board Game Create an idea for the game based on the characters, setting, plot, and theme of your chosen book. Your board game must include: A title A colorful, interesting game board made of a sturdy material like cardboard or poster board A clear, easy to follow set of rules. Please neatly handwrite or type your rules. Consider the following when developing your rules: How many players can play your game? What are the game pieces? How will players move around the board (dice, spinner, cards, etc.) What will your players have to do to win the game? What will you include that can help a player win (bonus points, cards, shortcuts, etc.)? What obstacles will you place in the game that could cause the players pieces (cards, with instructions, money, turn forfeits, cards to collect, etc.)? How long will it take to play your game? All materials necessary to play the game (e.g. game pieces, dice, spinner, cards, etc)
4 Name: Book Talk Form Directions: After reading your chosen novel, answer the questions below in complete sentences. All responses should be in your own words.
