The Westlake High School English Department assigns summer reading with the belief that reading good literature provides enjoyment, develops insight into human behavior, promotes language development, fosters good writing, and educates the mind.

Criteria for Book Selection: ❏ 9th grade-level (or higher) book of any genre (as long as words fill up the majority of the text) ❏ Minimum Page Length: 150 pages ​ ❏ May NOT be a book you have previously read ​ ​ Learning Target and Task: ● Target: Follow the plot/sequence of events, note the development of characters/people, and appreciate ​ engaging aspects through the close reading of your 9th grade-level (or higher) book of any genre. ● Task: You will be adding a post to our class FlipGrid. You will be discussing the book and responding to ​ the following tasks: ○ Provide a basic summary of the book. What are the significant moments? ○ What do you think the author was trying to teach or share in writing this book? ○ In general, did you enjoy the book? Why or why not?

  • (Realistic Fiction) This Is the Story of Junior, a Buddi
    Summer Choices Program 2019 English 3 - 4 and Honors English 3 - 4 Incoming sophomores (both English 3 - 4 and Honors English 3 - 4 students) must select TWO of the following ​ ​ texts to read over the summer. Please select books which you have not previously read. Assessments will be administered in the fall for each of the two texts selected: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie (Realistic Fiction) ​ ​ This is the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to break away from the life he thought he was destined to live, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Based on the ​ ​ author's own experiences, the book also includes drawings and sketches throughout. After the Shot Drops by Randy Ribay (Realistic Fiction; Sports Fiction) ​ ​ “Basketball provides the backdrop for a friendship pushed to its limits in this tale told from the alternating perspectives of two teen boys [Bunny and Nasir] growing up in a tough inner-city neighborhood reminiscent of Camden, New Jersey. By and large avoiding upfront race talk, Ribay makes his point by drawing characters of color full of complexity and contradiction. A genuine touch of Filipino flavor—Nasir’s mom grew up in the Philippines—demonstrates that one can step beyond reductive black/white–only portrayals of inner-city neighborhood life. A well-executed book featuring complex, diverse characters” (Kirkus). The Amazing Book Is Not on Fire: The World of Dan and Phil by Dan Howell and Phil Lester ​ (Non-Fiction) Since uploading their first ever videos as teenagers, Dan and Phil have become two of the world's biggest YouTube stars.
