1 IB SUMMER READING / ENGLISH 12 IB / IB Language A: Literature elizabeth.tedrick@bsd.k12.de.us Congratulations to all of you who have chosen the IB challenge. You are almost at the end of this four-year accomplishment. The following required readings will not only give you a jump on senior year, but will also be pleasurable. So get out the beach chair umbrella, grab Post-it notes colored pens, read, read, read. There are three required summer readings for this course: 1. Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez (recommended edition: Vintage International, translated by Gregory Rabassa) 2. The Stranger by French author Albert Camus (recommended edition: Vintage International, translated by Matthew Ward) 3. Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Iranian author Marjane Satrapi (recommended edition: Pantheon Books, Translated copyright 2003 by L Association, Paris, France) These books, with cultural settings in Latin America (Colombia), North Africa (Algeria), the Middle East (Iran), are from Part I of the syllabus, satisfying the criteria prescribed by IB for Works in Translation. Since ing is a vital component in critically analyzing responding to a text, you will be required to write critical analysis s for two of these texts: Chronicle of a Death Foretold The Stranger. With regard to Persepolis, in which critical analysis s will be given during our class study, you will be expected, as with all books, to take detailed notes as you read by using whatever note-taking process works best for you. I will check these Persepolis notes during the second week of school. You can also expect reading check tests on all three novels, in addition to future critical analysis s essays to prepare you for the Written Assignment that is externally assessed by IB. The attached rubrics directly correlate with IB exam assessment criteria. VERY IMPORTANT: In addition to reading the three works from Part I of the attached IB Diploma Programme Language A: Literature syllabus, I strongly encourage you to do a first reading of the Part III novels. Again, annotate as you read so that you are interacting with the text close reading. Your senior year is intense deming; thus, doing a careful first reading of the texts will benefit you greatly prepare you for your second reading during our in-class study where we go in more depth, analyzing the subtleties of the works. Since we approach the works from a critical perspective, you will be ahead of the game by knowing the plot of the novels. Your IB Paper 2 exam in May is based on these four Part III works, so you MUST know them well. Journal Summer Reading Requirements: 1. All s should be typed saved as one document per text; therefore, you will have two files: Chronicle summer reading Stranger summer reading. 2. Submit each to turnitin by Monday, September 4 th, at 11:59pm. Note: I will provide turnitin info the first week of school. Journal rubrics will be collected at the beginning of class starting on the Tuesday after Labor Day, September 5, I will not accept summer work beyond the second week of school for credit. If you have any questions over the summer, I can be reached at elizabeth.tedrick@bsd.k12.de.us. WORDS OF ADVICE: DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. You must know the works thoroughly completely to strut your stuff. *Attachments: (1) Journal Assignments; (2) Rubrics for grading in accordance with IB external assessment criteria; (3) IB syllabus
