English III Honors: Summer Reading Assignment for juniors in the class of 2017 Updated on 6-1-15
This year's summer reading opportunities are organized by genre. Students may select a piece of classic literature or something more contemporary in nature from a genre they enjoy. A Notice and Note Journal will be filled out as the student reads the book, and a poster, prezi, or powerpoint project on character development and theme is due at the end of the second week of school. See attached handouts.
10th Grade Honors students are required to read one book from a suggested list. Information about your summer reading assignment and the book choices. Summer Reading Assignment
9th grade English 1 Honors students are required to read at least one book over the summer, complete the assignment and be prepared to discuss their reading. The assignment will be turned in on the first day of school. The suggested selections are from the 2017-2018 Teens Read nominations; however, a student may choose a book that is not on the list but that is appropriate for the student’s interest and ability levels.
Information about the summer reading assignment
Access Summer readings via e-book.
We can now support the reading lists by almost 100% with eBooks; there were only 5 titles not offered to us by the publishers. This provides another option for students to read the books from the library. All they need to do is search in the catalog at ReadOkaloosa.org to see all formats offered. If students want to see only downloadable titles, they can change the default “Everything” search to “Digital Catalog” as shown directly below.
Or, students can go straight to the digital collection at http://okaloosa.lib.overdrive.com
There are free apps for tablets and phones, and a browser-based interface, too. You can pretty much read where you want on the device that you want.
