A Minimum of 2 Books Must Be Read Du the Requirements for the Portfolio JMJ Dear 6th , 7th and 8 th Graders, On your first day of school in August, please bring with you a PORTFOLIO or FOLDER OF YOUR OWN DESIGN which you can DISPLAY and SHARE with everyone. This portfolio will remain with you for the entire year. In this portfolio, you will place all of your l iterature choices, experiences and projects for the year. To begin, your portfolio will contain the following 5 elements. A minimum of 2 books must be read during the summer. The following are the requirements for the portfolio . 1. A TITLE PAGE with a PHOTO of yourself and a TABLE OF CONTENTS, followed by . 2. A brief explanation that states *what genre of books you like to read and why *how you improved your mind, body and spirit during the summer months. (due first day of school) You may include photos or drawings, if you wish. 3. A 1-2 paragraph narrative about the books you read 4. A READING RECORD of the author, title, dates, and number of pages you have read over the summer. (include any and all reading) 5. TWO READING-RELATED ACTIVITIES . You may choose a summer-long, TEACHER -DIRECTED activity listed, OR you may select a STUDENT- DIRECTED activity which you will be thinking about as you read over the summer, but which you probably will not create until you have finis hed your reading selections. YOU SELECT the ONE type of activity which you feel best reflects YOUR intellectual, emotional, and creative needs! TEACHER-DIRECTED CHOICES: 1. Keep a “daily” REFLECTIVE journal on each day’s reading. Limit your thoughts, observations, and puzzlements to 2-3 sentences per entry OR 2. Keep a CORRESPONDENCE journal. After reading a book (or selections of poetry or non -fiction), write a letter to its author or to one of the main characters. Using PROPER correspondence format, focus on important issues raised in the “book” and reveal any thoughts, observations, or puzzlements that you would like to share with the author, poet, character, or reader of your journal. (Length: 2-5 paragraphs per book. OR STUDENT-DIRECTED ACTIVITY: This type of activity is designed for RISK TAKERS. While reading over the summer, carefully monitor your OBSERVATIONS AND REFLECTIONS. Using one or more of your readings as a jumping-off point or source of inspirations, CREATE YOUR OWN ACTIVITY which should reflect your CREATIVE SELF. Feel free to experiment and explore with any ONE or MORE of several mediums, such as . • ORIGINAL WRITING (poetry, prose, script writing for stage, film, or video/TV) • ORIGINAL ARTWORK (drawing, painting or sculpture and a short typed summary) • ORIGINAL MUSIC (music and/or lyrics and a short typed summary) • ORIGINAL MEDIA PRODUCTIONS (photography, slide presentation, video, film, etc. and a short typed summary CREATIVE WORK should be “displayed” in such a way that it is appropriate for a GENERAL AUDIENCE, that the QUALITY of the creation reflects PRIDE AND QUALITY, and that it can be “hung up” or showcased in the classroom. “Type” written work, whenever possible, mount or frame using a contrasting background. This work must include the elements of literature clearly explained and provide reasons for your explanation of mood, theme, and types of characters. If you choose a STUDENT-DIRECTED activity, clearly LABEL your activity with your NAME AND GRADE and include a LISTING of this activity in your portfolio, so that students and teachers are made aware that your activity may be found somewhere other than in your portfolio. The AUTHORS of these outstanding books are NOT LISTED ALPHABETICALLY but rather in the order of their books’ probable POPULARITY and/or ease of reading. The more ADVANCED reading selections are at the end of each thematic section. You will find number of pages and themes. Remember! Read until you find what appeals to you.

  • Happy Reading!!!!
    2018 RMAE Incoming 6th Grade Summer Reading Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen 6th grade Language Arts Please read a minimum of three books to prepare for 6th grade Language Arts. Summer reading should be a fun, exploratory activity! Instead of giving you a detailed list of books, you are being asked to find books on your own. Try reading authors or genres you haven’t read before, or catch up on your favorite authors. The only rule is that you MUST READ BOOKS YOU HAVE NOT READ BEFORE and the books you read must within your Lexile range (reading level). Feel free to speak with a library or bookstore representative for assistance. Your book choices may include: Where the Red Fern Grows, Schooled, Number the Stars, A Wrinkle in Time, Bridge to Teribithia, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, Little Women, The Secret Garden, The Westing Game, Sounder, Island of the Blue Dolphins, Tuck Everlasting, Anne Frank, All Creatures Great and Small, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Call of the Wild, and Holes. If you studied something in history over the past year or so that you found interesting, see if there are nonfiction books in that subject—usually there are! Read more about World Lakes, The Age of Exploration, The Renaissance and Reformation England in the Golden Age, The Geography of the United States, Westward Expansion Before the Civil War, and Native Americans and Westward Expansion: Cultures and Conflicts. Visit Hearth Fire Bookstore (Evergreen) or the library and see what catches your eye. Read THREE books. ONE of your three books must be nonfiction (this includes biographies, autobiographies, personal narratives, and memoirs).
