  2. Summer Reading Titles

  3. Overall Requirements • Each grade level will have at least two required summer reading titles • Students will be required to not only read the novel, but complete an annotative quote log • The annotative quote log will be collected and students will be permitted to use it to construct a graded in-class essay during the first week of school

  4. Additional Grade Level Assignments • Each grade’s additional assignment will ask students to demonstrate their understanding of the skills practiced throughout the previous school year • 9th grade will construct character and theme log • 10th grade will construct character, theme and motif log • 11th grade will construct character, theme, motif and symbolism log • 12th grade will construct character, theme, motif, symbolism and literary theory log • *Honors/IB and AP will complete teacher implemented assignments in lieu of these assignments

  5. Annotative Quote Log Guidelines for Students • Analyze the parts of the quote, identifying at least two words or phrases that resonate with your larger purpose; refer directly to this word or phrase. Build links between your ideas and the ideas of the text you’re analyzing. • Think of the quote as a “specimen on the table.” You are taking it apart and showing us what you see in it. If the quotation is particularly rich or complex, you will need to spend more time “unpacking” its significance. • Interpret the significance of this quote to a particular character or theme. Tell your reader what meaning this quote holds in relationship to the book as a whole. • Explain how your analysis of this passage relates to what you take to be author’s central idea and/or pertinent character traits or plot points and how it helps you advance your ideas and feelings about the story as well.
