7Th Grade Summer Packet 7th Grade Summer Packet Summer Reading 2017—Grade Seven The Woods Academy Language Arts Social Studies Students going into grade seven are required to read five books this summer. ● Required titles: Mr. Clubbs is requiring you read one book from the list of ​ historical fiction titles attached to this letter. You must select one title from this list ● In addition, each student should read one nonfiction book, one book of poetry, and ​ ​ two free choices for a total of five books. An annotated list of suggested titles will be emailed to you; however, you do not have to select books from this list. These are suggestions only. ● Keep track of the books you read on the attached reading log and give it to Mrs. Piwko on the first day of school. Research informs us that reading as few as four to six books over the summer can prevent a drop in reading skills and that avid readers usually score high on standardized reading tests. Required reading assignment for English language arts: In September, each student will ​ present a book talk on the best book he/she read during the summer. The assignment guidelines are attached to this letter. Required reading assignment for social studies: Over the course of summer, Mr. Clubbs ​ would like students to connect history and today’s news. 1. Students will read chapter one, sections one through five from Discovery Education ​ Techbook, United States History (Prehistory to Reconstruction). ​ a. Each student has access to the techbook online (from this year). b. Students are encouraged to apply learning/note taking strategies (any form ​ ​ practiced in sixth grade) to help remember information and store in their long term memory. 2. While learning historical facts, students will reflect on how the past connects with today’s news events. a. Read and/or watch the news (newspaper, online, TV). Perhaps discuss the news as a family! b. Students will type reflections that must include: i. One to two sentences describing the historical event from the techbook. ii. One to two sentences describing the current event (please include source – i. e. Washington Post article; News 4 program, etc.). iii. Two to three sentences analyzing WHY the historical event and current event are linked. c. THREE TYPED reflections are required from chapter one, sections one through five. Mr. Clubbs highly encourages students to create more than three reflections. 3. In September, students must be prepared to discuss the details of the chapters and the reflections made over the summer. Have a great summer, Mrs. Piwko and Mr. Clubbs Mr. Clubbs requires you read at least one of the following books.

  • 7Th GRADE SUMMER READING!
    7th GRADE SUMMER READING! June 2020 Dear Incoming 7th Graders, We hope that you have an enjoyable and relaxing summer! At the same time, we don’t want to see you forget all of the skills you have worked so hard on during 6th grade. To keep your skills sharp, we ask you to read two novels ​ ​ this summer to kick off the 7th Grade 20 Book Reading Challenge that we will continue throughout the year. ​ ​ We are encouraging each student to read 20 books throughout this year. Attached is a sheet to record the title and authors of each book that is read. Print out the challenge page and add the two titles and authors of the books you read over the summer. Then bring the challenge page to class with you to turn into your ELA teacher. We encourage students to read across a variety of genres, themes, and authors. The books we read as a class will count toward the 20 books. It is our motto that you can always read more than 20 and should never strive to do less. The book of your choice CANNOT be a book with a film version. Throughout the course of the year we will be exploring the theme of transformation on top of our exploration of story structure and how authors transform traditional structures. This theme will be a reoccurring topic in both our class discussions and writing for each unit we study. We encourage students to utilize the school and public libraries as a means of finding great books to read.
