Summer Assignment 2017-2018 IB World Topics Mr. Brown and Ms
Summer Assignment 2017-2018 IB World Topics Mr. Brown and Ms. Dean [email protected] [email protected] Purpose of assignment: Students will read chapters 1-13 (209 pages) of Devil in the Grove, a Pulitzer Prize winning account of a seminal case in the post-WWII Civil Rights Movement, in order to have a better understanding of the social, economic, and legal inequities that African-Americans faced in the South during the era of Jim Crow. The book will be used as a bridge between what you learned in HOA and our examination of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States during our first unit on Rights and Protest. Limited copies are available through the Arlington Public Library, or it can be purchased used from Amazon.com for as little as $5.00. Estimated time of completion: This entirely depends on the student’s reading capabilities, but no more than 6 hours should be spent on the assignment. All total you are responsible for approximately 200 pages of text over the summer, though we recommend that you finish the entire book if you are able to do so. Due date and method of assessment: Students will have the first week of school in September to finish the remainder of the book if they are not done already. There will be an in-class seminar on the book during the second week of school. Instructions for Assignment: Read the book and answer the provided questions before the in-class seminar. Recommended Books and Movies: Whether you are an overachiever ☺ and you want a jump on what we will be studying next year, or you are just looking for some good beach reads or movies, here are a few titles to try out: March: Books 1, 2 & 3 by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell (graphic novels about Civil Rights) Selma (2015 movie centered on Martin Luther King’s role in the Selma march) The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As told to Alex Haley Why We Can’t Wait by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Summer Reading Assignment- Honors 12- 2018-1
Honors English 12 Ms. Ferrone Honors English 12 Summer Reading Assignment One of the objectives of Honors English 12 is that you will learn to analyze literature from various cultures – including our own – in order to consider abstract ideas about values, beliefs, priorities, and cultural systems. You will compare and contrast these cultures based on these aspects. You will be expected to open your mind toward others’ views, to see things from unique perspectives, and to challenge your own perceptions. Your summer reading assignment reflects these goals. As students entering your final year of high school English, I expect you are already reading all the time. For that reason, and the fact that it is summer, I want to leave some of the choice of what you read this summer up to you. All I ask is that you read something contemporary and of literary value (either fiction or non-fiction). What does that mean, you ask? Novels and books of literary merit are often identified by scholars and writers who use myriad criteria by which to judge whether a book is notable in some way. These people consider aspects like the style and quality of writing, the nature of the topic and themes, and the originality of the work. One of the sources that feature notable contemporary books of literary merit is The New York Times. Each week The Times features a list of bestselling hardcover fiction and non-fiction. This is one of the lists from which you could choose a summer reading book for this year. You are not limited to choosing only from this week’s list.

MVRHS Honors English 11 Summer Reading Assignment 2019 Please
MVRHS Honors English 11 Summer Reading Assignment 2019 Please read these instructions carefully and thoroughly. It is crucial that you follow them exactly to start off your time in Honors 11 on a successful path. As students in Honors English, I expect you are already reading all the time. For that reason, and the fact that it is summer, I want to leave some of the choice of what you read this summer up to you – within some particular parameters to ensure that everyone selects a book with literary merit. Novels and books of literary merit are often identified by scholars and writers who use myriad criteria by which to judge whether a book is notable in some way. These people consider aspects like the style and quality of writing, the nature of the topic and themes, and the originality of the work. One way to determine whether a book has literary merit is whether it has won an award, so your summer reading book choice must be a book that has won a prestigious award. In order to avoid confusion and to help you choose a book of literary merit, you must choose a book from the provided list. There are a range of choices (fiction and non-fiction) and subjects. To reiterate: you must read a book from the provided list and from that list only. Needless to say, you should choose a book that is not one you have read previously for any reason. You are encouraged to research summaries/book reviews of potential choices to ensure that it is a book that interests you.

BENEATH A RUTHLESS SUN A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found Gilbert King Riverhead, April 2018. “The perversions of justice under Jim Crow chart a devious path in this labyrinthine true crime saga… Packed with riveting characters and startling twists, King’s narrative unfolds like a Southern gothic noir probing the recesses of a poisoned society.” STARRED Review in Publishers Weekly. "A spellbinding true story of racism, privilege, and official corruption. … From the opening pages, King's narrative barrels forward, leaving readers wondering what it will take for justice to prevail. By turns sobering, frightening, and thrilling, this meticulous account of the power and tenacity of officially sanctioned racism recalls a dark era that America is still struggling to leave behind." STARRED Review in Kirkus.
