Grade Twelve College English. This Summer, We Would Like You to Write a Book Report on One of the “Cinderella” Novels on the Attached List Hi There Grade Twelve St. Joe’s Girl! Welcome to Grade Twelve College English. This summer, we would like you to write a book report on one of the “Cinderella” novels on the attached list. Go to Amazon.ca to review the plots and reading levels. All of these novels are available at the Toronto Public Library, regular and used bookstores, Amazon.ca (new and used copies) and many in e-book format on-line. Last year, you studied Satire and Irony—a nightmarish, hellish world where heroes are absent and chaos, cruelty, hypocrisy, immorality, injustice, madness and misery prevail. This year, you will study Comedy (Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones’s Diary, King Lear, etc.). The central theme of this story is the human spirit’s potential for renewal. Comedy ends with a transformation of ironic confusion. The comic spirit is one of hope for the future (i.e. love and marriage) and faith in human endurance over time (social or spiritual redemption). Your book report (rough and double-spaced good copies) is due on the Friday of the second week after school starts in September. Give your work to your Semester 1 English teacher. If you take English in Semester 2, give your work to Ms. Pregelj in the library that same Friday in September. This assignment will be marked. If you fast-track by taking an English credit in summer school, then complete the reading assignment for the grade and level of English that you will take during the academic year at St. Joseph's College. For example, if you take Grade 10 Academic English in summer school, you will submit the Grade 11 Academic English reading assignment in September and write the reading comprehension test in the semester you study English. Or, if you upgrade from Grade 10 Applied to Grade 10 Academic English in summer school, you will submit the Grade 11 Academic English reading assignment in September and write the reading comprehension test in the semester you study English. We want you to enjoy your time with family and friends. But, we believe this assignment will build your confidence and strengthen your score on the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, a ministry graduation requirement. We are a strong reading community. We want you to be engaged intellectuals and colourful conversationalists! If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected] Have a safe and happy summer. See you in September.

  • Cinderella Retellings
    THIS LIST WILL BE PERIODICALLY UPDATED, as authors come out with new tales and/or as I discover others. Most of the links lead to the Kindle versions of the books. Ratings: These are reading GUIDELINES. Reading ages and abilities vary widely, so please keep in mind that I don’t even pretend to know what you or your kids/siblings/whoever can handle. These ratings are determined based on general reading levels and general content tolerance levels. The rating means a book has one or more of that kind of content, not necessarily all of them. Not every book rated PG-13 is going to have swearing, for example. Sometimes it’s rated that for violence. PG-13 does not necessarily mean ‘clean’. That’s why I’ve added clean to the series that qualify. G: as safe as a kids’ book or family documentary PG: mild violence, mild clean/sweet romance handled lightly, and/or exciting adventures that aren’t too tense. PG-13: some violence, mild physicality and sexuality, and/or mild swearing. PG-16: high levels of violence, psychologically medium-dark scenes, and/or mid-level sexual content, adult concepts, and/or medium-level swear words and frequency. Mature: intense violence, high level sexual content, intense ‘dark’ content, psychologically dark scenes or concepts, and/or lots of swearing. Clean: little to no mild swearing, violence that isn’t graphic, kissing and sexual content handled the same way you’d find in a Hallmark movie. Genre definitions: high fantasy: takes place in a secondary world that has no knowledge of Earth, contains magic/fantasy races/fantasy
