A rationale for summer reading:
-
To generate interest and pleasure in reading that enriches the educational experience
-
To prepare for thoughtful reading and discussion upon return to class in the Fall
-
To use time not available during the year to expand one’s reading repertoire
-
To keep the mind active and engaged in learning new things
General Instructions:
-
Use a journal during your summer reading to take notes about the main characters, main events, and portions of the book that made an impression on you.
-
Make sure you have READ each of the books assigned in its entirety.
-
