Summer Reading 2021 English 12

Students taking English 12 in the fall must read two books during the previous summer.

Choose one book from the list below:

For your list book, you will have a test on the first day of school.

List : The Rent Collector Camron Wright A Man Called Ove Fredrick Backman All the Light We Cannot See Anthony Doerr Station 11 Emily St. John Mandel City of Thieves David Benioff Escape from Camp 14 Blaine Harden

Your second book can be a book of your choice. It needs to be a minimum of 200 pages and not have a movie made from it. Do not pick a book from a past AHA reading list. During the first week of school, you will be assigned an in-class writing assignment. You will need to know the title and author of the book for your in–class writing assignment. If you can, bring a copy of the book to class that day. For both books, we would suggest taking notes on characters and main events to help you remember them at the start of school. A graphic organizer is included if you would like to use it as you read.

Here are some suggestions if you don’t have any books in mind for your choice: Interpreter of Maladies Jhumpa Lahiri Three Cups of Tea Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin Little Bee Chris Cleave Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman Jon Krakauer The True Story of Hansel and Gretel Louise Murphy Brave New World Aldous Huxley Nickel Boys Colson Whitehead
