Rising 10th Grade Summer Reading Assignment
Rising 10th Grade Summer Reading Assignment
Prior to the start of the 2018-2019 school year, all rising 10th graders are expected to complete the summer reading assignment explained below. Reading over the summer will provide students with an opportunity to challenge themselves as a student and a reader. Students who read independently are more successful in their English classes, so this is an opportunity for students to either develop a habit of independent reading or to further develop existing habits.
We will begin the year working with the students' summer books, so this reading will establish a foundation for the school year ahead. The texts on the list below were chosen because they are narrative non-fiction, which is a genre of emphasis, and because they exemplify core themes that students will be working with during the school year.
? If you are taking English 10: read one book from the list below. ? If you are taking English 10 Honors or Humanities: read two books from the list below.
The Books: ? I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai ? When I Was Puerto Rican by Esmeralda Santiago ? The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston ? Yes, Chef: A Memoir by Marcus Samuelsson ? One Day I Will Write About This Place: A Memoir by Binyavanga Wainaina
The Assignment: ? As they read, students should annotate their novels, paying attention to the following guiding questions: o What is the writer's relationship with the culture or cultures around them? o What elements of culture are depicted in the book? o What cultural values are depicted in the book? o How do people learn what their culture values? ? Students will be working with these books immediately upon their return to school, so they will need to bring a copy to school. o If you check it out from the public library or borrow a copy, make arrangements to check it back out or re-borrow it when school begins.
