British Literature Summer Reading List and Project Ms. Wright Welcome to British Literature! Over the summer, you must read one of the texts listed below. No exceptions. While reading the text, you will need to complete the following project: A Thematic Journal: • What thematic subjects are portrayed in the novel? Select three dominant thematic subjects to analyze. You may choose any thematic subject within your novel. o For example: Love, betrayal, and jealousy • For each thematic subject, you are to keep a journal of its journey in the text. You must select six textual references per thematic subject. For each textual reference, you are to explain how the reference 1) relates to the thematic subject 2) how it relates to the text as a whole 3) reflect on the characters’ interaction or role with the thematic subject. • This may be hand-written or typed. Each textual reference should be labeled by its thematic subject, and the reflection/analysis should be a long, detailed paragraph. Overall, you will have 18 entries= 18 paragraphs. • If you have any questions regarding the assignment, email me at [email protected]. I will be checking emails over the summer. • This project will be due in on the first day of school, August 21st.
