SCPA Summer Reading

As English teachers, we each possess a love for reading and books. We would like to share this affinity with our students and encourage all of you to find books you enjoy. This summer’s assignment is designed to inspire creativity while allowing you to find books that are accessible and engaging. Please choose one of the following options: Option A, Option B, Option C, AP English 11, or AP English 12. Option C is only available to students in grades 8-12 with teacher approval. The AP English assignments are only applicable to students recommended for those courses.

Evidence of work is due the first week of the 2021-22 school year. You may also send evidence of work such as pictures and electronic files prior to the start of school. Have fun with the assignment and be creative. For regular-level English courses, you will not be assessed on a test or an essay. AP classes are college-level courses and will have more rigorous assessments.

The goal for summer reading is that you are learning something through reading while feeding your creativity. Your artistic product must be connected to the themes and ideas in your summer reading book. The product must exhibit a thoughtful, consistent effort. As SCPA students you are held to artistic and performance standards that will ensure we are a world-class school.
