Summer Literacy Project

Note: Selections with asterisks have mature content and may not be suitable for all audiences.

All work must be YOUR OWN. Do not search the internet for answers, do not watch the movie version, and do not work with another student. Academic dishonesty will result in a zero for the assignment, parent contact, and disciplinary action.

NOTE: In order to stay in the class, you will be required to earn an 80% on the summer reading project.
