Summer Reading 2023: ENGLISH 3 CP
Step 1: Choose a book
Choose a book, fiction OR non-fiction, that has something to do with American History. Consider choosing a historical event and then searching for books that deal with that event. It could be a biography, memoir, fictional story, etc. Please choose a book that you find interesting and that is accessible to you! You can purchase your book on your own, or pick it up from the public library.
Please make sure you discuss your book with your parent or guardian to make sure you are all in agreement that is an appropriate book.
Reach out to your teachers (English, History, or Mrs. Colpi) to ask for any recommendations. In this document, the history teachers have listed some of the things they plan to read this summer! If working off of this document, make sure to stick with the US History choices.
Step 2: READ! Read! read!
Read your book and read it with purpose. While you read, keep track of the historical context of the book. Consider using post-it notes or keeping a running list of the historical context discussed in the book. We'll use these notes when you return to school in August.
I'm Finished reading. Now What?
When you return to school, you'll use your book for discussion and some writing. Come prepared with your book and notes!
Happy reading! Enjoy your summer, and I will see you in August!
