Summer Assignment & Journaling Inspiration:
This year's summer reading will be Khaled Hosseini's novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. We will begin study of the novel on August 21st, so you do have the first 2 weeks of school to read if that is your preference.
We will keep a Literary SketchNote Journal all year and some of you may wish to begin in the summer while you read. I've included some journal topics on the slides below if you are so inclined. This is not a summer requirement.
Need some ideas for HOW to think about your reading? Here's a set of questions we'll use all year to jump start our conversations, our writings, and our journaling. Use them this summer as a way to THINK about the book. Feel free to mark your pages with post it notes as you read if you find passages that you want to remember. This is optional, but helpful when we start our work with the book in August.
