Required Summer Reading Assignment

 

Here is your first assignment for the upcoming school year,

2009-2010!

 

Join all your fellow classmates in reading a book of your own choice this summer!

 

Choose a book you want to read, not one you have read. We will be inviting you to read throughout next year; this is our first reading invitation to you.  Find a book that interests you because we want you to enjoy your reading.  You may read fiction or nonfiction, based on your interests.

 

When you arrive in the fall, we will be asking you to complete an assignment over your book, so you will want to take a few notes such as title, author, main characters, conflict (What is the problem and how is it resolved in the book?), and what you think is the main message, author's purpose, or theme of the book. Additionally, we will ask you to share a passage from the book, so select the passage and keep a copy.  Yes, you will have grades associated with reading the book, so get yourself off to a great start next fall by returning with your book read and your notes prepared. 

 

We look forward to hearing about your summer reading!
