Overview:

The cross-curricular Honor Summer Assignments for ELA, Science, and Social Studies are designed to:

• • provide pre-test data to show teachers what skills students have acquired from previous instruction;

  • engage students in learning activities that will appeal to their interests, help them practice previously acquired skills, and introduce texts and concepts that will be discussed and expanded upon throughout the beginning units of the next school year;

  • enrich students learning experience by forcing them to dig deep into the content by accessing varied, rich, and powerful texts (including primary and historical documents) to help them:

1. transfer skills and concepts across courses/contents

2. practice reading and analyzing skills

3. practice writing skills

• prepare to engage in thought-provoking, collegial discussions with classmates

Please Note: 

This is mandatory work for all Honor/Advanced Placement/Dual Credit students.
Students will do work over this content in the first week of school, which will be the first formative grade in the gradebook for the 2024-2025 school year. 

*Readings must be completed before the first day of school.
