The summer reading is to be completed prior to the first day of school. English students are to read all three books; honors students are to read all four books. Students should keep a detailed summer reading journal for all the books in order to keep track of and take notes on what they have read. (For instance, each time you read write a summary in your journal using specific character names and details.) This journal will help the students remember and discuss the material they read over the summer. It will also prepare them for any possible assignments on the summer reading materials. Students will be expected to bring this journal with them the first day of school. Students will be held accountable for what they read over the summer.
