Summer Reading
10th Grade English II
College Preparatory:
The 10th grade English teachers encourage students to read books of their choice over the summer. While we do not have parameters for summer reading, we hope students will take the opportunity to read at least two new texts that interest them.
Examples: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Legend by Marie Lu, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, The Watcher in the Shadows by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds
Honors Level:
The honors summer reading assignment is to read either of the following two options and to be prepared to relate the text(s) to the activities and assessments in the first quarter. For example, students will be asked to participate in Literature Circles and Harkness discussions on the complex ethics of the myths.
Circe and The Cyclops by Homer and Circe by Madeline Miller
The Odyssey by Homer
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program
All students in grades 6-12 are required to bring a laptop computer to school each day. Laptops have far more access compared to mobile devices and will expose students to integrated digital tools that will prepare them for future success. This model will allow students and teachers to consistently use technology as a tool for learning, exploration, and organization. More details about the BYOD program:
10th Grade Supply List
Teachers will have the course syllabus posted during the summer in onCampus. Any required supplies for Upper School students will be listed on the syllabus.
