Integrated and CP students should read one book.
Honors students should read two books.
Pre-AP and AP students can find their assigned books here. Complete summer work assignments will be emailed to them.
The expectation is that your choices are of a high school level and not previously read in or out of school (such as The Outsiders, Peak, etc.)

2 thoughts, reactions, questions, or connections (a solid paragraph for each)
1 thing you liked or disliked about the book and why (a solid paragraph)
Honors classes

Upon Returning to School
Your responses will be collected on the third day of class and graded for thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and accuracy. This grade will appear in the practice category on PowerSchool.
You will write an in-class essay based on a prompt given to you by your teacher. You will be able to use your notes.
