SUMMER READING Packet 2009
Students are expected to read three books (one fiction, one non-fiction, and a third of their choice – either fiction or non-fiction), which they have never read before. They should choose books by authors on the enclosed list of recommended authors.
After the students read the books, they must complete a book report. Samples for the fiction, autobiography/biography, and nonfiction books are attached. A report should be completed as soon as the book is read and stored for safekeeping. During the first week of school, English teachers will collect the reports.
The full packet, including author list, can be found here as a PDF document:
