1 Dear Students and Parents, Current 7 th grade/incoming 8 th grade Summer Reading Assignment As the year comes to a close, it is time to start preparing our seventh grade Language Arts students for eighth grade. Part of that transition is to ensure that students are aware of and complete the required assignments over the summer to be ready for the first day of school. Each incoming eighth grader will be required to read The Raft by S.A Bodeen and complete a Reader s Response Journal. The journals will be collected, and students will be tested on the novel within the first two weeks of school. Within this packet, you will find the instructions to the Reading Journal and a sample entry for guidance. If you have any questions, please feel free to the eighth grade Language Arts teachers. Ms. A Green: GreenA@lake.k12.fl.us Mr. Miller: MillerM1@lake.k12.fl.us Please complete and detach bottom portion Student Name: Date: I have reviewed and understand the summer reading requirements. I further understand the importance of completing this assignment prior to the start of the school year. Parent Signature Student Signature 1

5 Jane Gator To Kill a Mockingbird Entry # 2 July 14, 2012 Pages Summary At school, Scout starts a fight with Cecil Jacobs because of what he says about her daddy. Atticus has to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of assaulting a white woman. It is a case he cannot hope to win, but he tells Scout that he has to defend Tom because it s the right thing to do. One day, a mad dog appears, wandering down the main street toward the Finches house. Atticus shoots the animal, hitting the dog with his first shot despite his considerable distance from the dog. Later, Miss Maudie tells Jem and Scout that, as a young man, Atticus was the best shot in the county One-shot Finch. Scout is eager to brag about this, but Jem tells her to keep it a secret, because if Atticus wanted them to know, he would have told them. Quote/Passage Mockingbirds don t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy...but sing their hearts out for us. That s why it s a sin to kill a mockingbird. Page 90 This is where the book s title comes from. It also seems important to theme. Tom Robinson is like a mockingbird- innocent and yet is on trial for something he didn t do. That s why Atticus has to defend him- it would be a sin not to. Reflections 1. I think the setting is important I wonder about because it shows the way people acted in South during the 30 s. 2. Why Atticus calls Mrs. Dubose brave? Is it brave to overcome an addiction? Maybe since everybody makes mistakes, the important thing is how we react after we mess up. 5
