1 Summer Reading Shore Regional High School District A great book should leave you with many experiences and slightly exhausted at the end. You should live several lives while reading it. ~ William Styron All students in the Shore Regional High School District are expected to complete a summer reading assignment. Students in AP and IB level classes will be given more extensive assignments to accompany the required texts. The ultimate goal of the summer assignment is to encourage the valuable habit of reading and to encourage lifelong learning. Reading stimulates minds, creates mental pictures of exotic places, introduces compelling characters, presents new ideas, and offers enjoyment of amusing conversations and beautiful language. Sample graphic organizers are attached to this packet and can be used as a guide. Students will be able to use their prewriting organizers on their summer reading essay assignment. The essay will be written the first week of school, and graphic organizers are an essential component for the completion of this essay. All students should adhere to the following summer reading guidelines: Read and annotate your assigned book(s), based on grade level and class. Complete a graphic organizer for each book. Hard copies of graphic organizers must be completed and brought on the first day of school. Prepare for your writing assignment in the first week of school.
