Directions: Please read the appropriate section below to review the summer reading expectations for your English class.  Click here for a video explaining the program for all upcoming 9th, 10th, and Junior Honors students.

 

Freshman English, Sophomore English and Junior Honors English:

 

The primary goal of our school-wide summer reading program is to provide students with the opportunity to read and hear stories from people across the world in order to build a better understanding of diverse cultures and experiences. Students will reflect on what the different works reveal about themselves and the world around them. 

 

To achieve these goals, explore theSummer Reading Choice Board that includes hyperlinks to works of varying lengths and difficulties in the following categories: poetry, fiction, nonfiction and audio/visual.  

 

After exploring the Choice Board:

 

  • Select one work from each category to study.

  • Complete the 2021 Summer Reading Assignmentby the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year. 

  • Be prepared to submit these assignments to your English teacher in September.          

  • Feel free to continue exploring the additional resources on the Global Voices Choice Board!

 

Junior Advanced Placement and Senior Advanced Placement English:

 

The goals of the Junior AP and Senior AP summer reading programs are more content specific.  Therefore, their summer reading requirements are more intensive than the school-wide requirements.
