Along the way, she's left us with countless gems of snarky wisdom, such as: "If somebody ever asks you to kick her in the face, the first thing she will do is forget that she asked you to do it," and "As long as you keep laughing at how dumb something is, you can secretly enjoy it without risking your cool."

  • Norristown Area High School Summer Reading List: Grade 11 (Current 10Th Graders)
    Norristown Area High School Summer Reading List: Grade 11 (Current 10th graders) All Non AP English III students The teachers of Norristown Area High School feel that it is important for students to continue to work on acquiring, maintaining and improving reading and analysis skills through the summer months as well as appreciating literature and reading for personal enjoyment. To that end, the teachers in the English department have put together the following lists of suggested titles for grade 11. Non-Weighted Honors--Choose one book from below for the Independent Reading Student Choice. No assignment required. Weighted Honors--Choose one book from below for the Independent Reading and complete a double entry journal of at least 20 entries for one of the following books. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang (Graphic Novel) -- American Born Chinese is the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award and the first to win the American Library Association's Michael L. Printz Award. An intentionally over-the-top stereotypical Chinese character make this a better fit for teen readers who have the sophistication to understand the author's intent. Three parallel stories interlock in this graphic novel. In the first, the American-born Chinese boy of the title, Jin, moves with his family from San Francisco's Chinatown to a mostly white suburb. There he's exposed to racism, bullying, and taunts. The second story is a retelling of the story of the Monkey King, a fabled Chinese character who develops extraordinary powers in his quest to be accepted as a god.

  • The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright a Thesis
    The YA Novel in the Digital Age by Amy Bright A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Amy Bright, 2016 Abstract Recent research by Neilsen reports that adult readers purchase 80% of all young adult novels sold, even though young adult literature is a category ostensibly targeted towards teenage readers (Gilmore). More than ever before, young adult (YA) literature is at the center of some of the most interesting literary conversations, as writers, readers, and publishers discuss its wide appeal in the twenty-first century. My dissertation joins this vibrant discussion by examining the ways in which YA literature has transformed to respond to changing social and technological contexts. Today, writing, reading, and marketing YA means engaging with technological advances, multiliteracies and multimodalities, and cultural and social perspectives. A critical examination of five YA texts – Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Libba Bray’s Beauty Queens, Daniel Handler’s Why We Broke Up, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and Jaclyn Moriarty’s The Ghosts of Ashbury High – helps to shape understanding about the changes and the challenges facing this category of literature as it responds in a variety of ways to new contexts. In the first chapter, I explore the history of YA literature in order to trace the ways that this literary category has changed in response to new conditions to appeal to and serve a new generation of readers, readers with different experiences, concerns, and contexts over time.

  • (Realistic Fiction) This Is the Story of Junior, a Buddi
    Summer Choices Program 2019 English 3 - 4 and Honors English 3 - 4 Incoming sophomores (both English 3 - 4 and Honors English 3 - 4 students) must select TWO of the following ​ ​ texts to read over the summer. Please select books which you have not previously read. Assessments will be administered in the fall for each of the two texts selected: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie (Realistic Fiction) ​ ​ This is the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to break away from the life he thought he was destined to live, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Based on the ​ ​ author's own experiences, the book also includes drawings and sketches throughout. After the Shot Drops by Randy Ribay (Realistic Fiction; Sports Fiction) ​ ​ “Basketball provides the backdrop for a friendship pushed to its limits in this tale told from the alternating perspectives of two teen boys [Bunny and Nasir] growing up in a tough inner-city neighborhood reminiscent of Camden, New Jersey. By and large avoiding upfront race talk, Ribay makes his point by drawing characters of color full of complexity and contradiction. A genuine touch of Filipino flavor—Nasir’s mom grew up in the Philippines—demonstrates that one can step beyond reductive black/white–only portrayals of inner-city neighborhood life. A well-executed book featuring complex, diverse characters” (Kirkus). The Amazing Book Is Not on Fire: The World of Dan and Phil by Dan Howell and Phil Lester ​ (Non-Fiction) Since uploading their first ever videos as teenagers, Dan and Phil have become two of the world's biggest YouTube stars.
