SUMMER READING POLICIES
Dear Parents, As the days continue to slip by and June swiftly approaches, students and teachers alike are looking forward to the respite offered during our annual summer break from school! You may already be planning family vacations, registering for summer camps, or simply reveling in the thought of lazy summer days....and that raises the question, already whispered among students, “Will we have to do summer reading?” As teachers and parents ourselves, we hear your concerns— this is the summer, kids need a break, they’ve worked hard all year long, we don’t want to have to worry about making our kids read— so we want to offer you a rationale for summer reading. Most parents realize that kids need to read more, that reading is integral to every subject they will study and to the rest of their lives. However, they hate the struggle and the complaints that are often involved with summer reading! Why is it necessary? Stephen D. Krashen, an educator, researcher, and expert in the field of linguistics, has written over 350 articles and books on the subjects of language acquisition and reading. His findings corroborate other research which shows that high school students who read over the summer months become more literate, write more proficiently, and acquire more vocabulary. (Read more about his research on his website www.sdkrashen.com.) Other studies indicate that students who neglect summer reading may regress one to three months academically and that summer reading programs are a key to ensuring kids stay on track and are ready to continue learning on grade level in the fall. (Read some excellent studies on summer reading at Johns Hopkins University’s National Summer Learning Association website, www.summerlearning.org.) In addition to the vast quantity of research supporting summer reading programs, Hickory Grove Christian High School, a college-prep high school, endeavors to prepare students for college. If you research other college-prep high schools in the Charlotte area, especially other private schools, you will find that summer reading programs are the norm. College-prep schools realize the importance of fostering life-long reading skills in students and promoting higher expectations of students, year-round. With HGCS’s 4 X 4 block scheduling, some students will have English the fall of 2017, others the spring of 2018. All students (fall and spring semester) should read during the summer months and finish any activities associated with the reading by the first day of fall semester. Students need to make sure they annotate and take notes while reading. Both fall and spring students will be tested either the first or second weeks of school--depending on the Smart Lunch schedule for the 2017-2018 school year. English teachers will advise students the first day of class when the formal assessment will be given. Students will also have class discussions and activities on the summer reading both semesters. Please understand that we do want you to benefit from family time this summer; we do want students to enjoy a break from rigorous academics. However, we also want to help kids succeed and prepare kids for higher education and for life! Our summer reading is designed to be completed in a manageable amount of time so as not to take up your entire summer break. We encourage you, as parents, to engage in reading with your children and to help them plan the completion of the summer reading so that it does not drag out all summer long. The best way to encourage your children to read is to let them see you reading! Please look online at the flyer “Supporting Literacy Learning All Year Long” (http://www.readwritethink.org /files/callouts/year- long-flyer_2.pdf) for additional ways you can engage your children in reading and learning over the summer months. Sincerely, The English Department of HGCS

9TH GRADE REGULAR & HONORS ENGLISH SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENTS Due: August 18 Novel: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Welcome to English I! We will work to help you become stronger readers and writers this year. You will be responsible for numerous outside readings, starting with your summer reading of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451 stands as a “classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future.” Its message has grown more relevant since the first publication, and we will explore this novel together by examining it through a biblical worldview lens. This book may be purchased at Hickory Grove Bookstore. You must purchase a personal copy so you may underline and make notations within the book. If you have questions regarding the assignment, please email your teacher, Mrs. Staples
[email protected]. Emails will be answered and checked periodically throughout the summer. Please read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and respond to the following questions in a Google Slides presentation. You will submit this presentation through Google Classroom by August 18th. You will receive login information the first week of school for your Google Classroom. An objective test on this novel will also be given during the first two weeks of school. Those who have me 2nd semester will test during smart lunch and submit the slides presentation through Google Classroom as well. The slides presentation and objective test will represent two different test grades for summer reading. Your annotations will be scored as your first quiz grade. Honors will receive an additional score on the essay.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Respond to all nine of the questions below. Your goal is to demonstrate some ability to think about what you’ve read and to communicate those thoughts in writing. Please use complete sentences, and strive to craft a paragraph that answers all aspects of the question within it. Make sure you use text evidence to support your answers. When there is more than one question included, the order you respond to them doesn’t matter as long as you cover all the bases. Each question is worth 10 points, and you may receive only partial credit for brief or incomplete answers. Make sure the question number you are answering is clearly marked as noted in the rubric below. 1. After you have read Part One of the novel, consider the ways in which Bradberry makes this setting of this particular dream (or nightmare) seem real. What techniques does Bradbury use to establish the novel’s setting? What technique does he not use, and why do you think he avoids it? 2. Create a slide with a short personal reaction to each of the following characters: Guy Montag, Clarisse MCClellan, Mildred and Captain Beatty. Do you find each character to be simply drawn or complex? Sympathetic or unsympathetic? 3. According to Beatty, what historical events and trends led to the fireman? What seems to be his attitude toward the history he discusses? How does his discussion shape your attitude toward him? 4. A foil is an object or character who, by contrast, calls attention to or enhances the traits and qualities of another object or character. In this sense, how might Beatty be a foil to Montag? In what ways is Beatty seemingly opposite to Montag? 5. Bradbury warns against the tendency of technology to dehumanize those who use it. What has been your experience of the Christian faith’s attitude toward technology and innovation? Read Exodus 32:1-7, 35:30-36:5, Isaiah 44:12-22 and Micah 4:1-5. How do these scripture passages address the use or abuse of technology? 6. In the subway, Montag tries to read his Bible as much as possible in hopes that he will absorb some of its words. Identify the passage Montag is trying to read. How does this biblical passage influence your understanding of this scene in Bradbury’s novel? 7. Faber calls himself a coward because he did not speak up on behalf of those who were persecuted for being intellectuals: “I’m one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the guilty, but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.” Read Matthew 25:41-46 and Luke 16:19-25. What do these passages teach us about opportunities and obligations to speak “up and out,” as Faber says, on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves?

8. Why does Montag think the teenagers try to run him down? Based on this incident, and the conclusion Montag reaches about it, what can you conclude about the society of Fahrenheit 451? 9. Read Ecclesiastes 2:12-16 and 12:1-8. What do these passages say about death and a person’s legacy? How are they similar to or contrast with the attitudes toward death and legacy expressed by Granger? ANNOTATIONS Annotations should include your marking on the pages for significant literary elements (foreshadowing, metaphor, simile, character definitions, personification, etc.) as well as unknown vocabulary words and your personal interaction with the text. Tips for annotating: • Mark the text with symbols (underlining/highlighting, stars, smiley faces, brackets etc) • Write in the margins of the text (questions, personal reactions, summaries, connections to other parts of the book, analysis, evaluation) • Tab important pages with sticky notes or by circling the page number • It might help to use symbols or color coding as you annotate (e.g. use pink for question one, blue for question 2 ) Please annotate in pen. Multiple colors are acceptable.
OTHER INSTRUCTIONS This assignment should be done on a Google Slide Presentation and shared through Google Classroom by Friday, August 18th. Respond to one question per slide in paragraph form. Cite quotes and evidence by simply noting page numbers in your responses. You may earn up to 10 points per slide, 5 points for your title page and 5 points for a personal response to the novel slide at the end. This is the only slide where you will respond in first person.
HONORS ASSIGNMENT Complete the assignment above plus the one below: For many readers, this novel brings to mind the book burning that took place in Nazi Germany. Discuss the events in the novel by relating the novel to real life. Could these events actually happen in today’s world, or do you believe this fictional world could never exist? Choose one point of view to write a persuasive essay. You will also submit this paper through Google Classroom. Be sure to cite evidence from the novel to support your thinking.

10TH GRADE REGULAR & HONORS ENGLISH SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENTS Due: August 18 Novel: Night by Elie Wiesel Congratulations on your decision to take English II! In this course, we will do a lot of reading and a lot of writing. You will be responsible for numerous outside readings, starting with your summer reading of Night by Elie Wiesel. Night is a personal account of Wiesel’s horrendous experience as a young teenager in the ghetto and in the concentration camps of Buchenwald and Auschwitz. This book may be purchased at Hickory Grove Bookstore. You must purchase a personal copy so you may underline and make notations within the book. The quotes, vocabulary, discussion questions, and annotations are due on Friday, August 18th, and each of the four grades will be averaged together to make up one test grade. An objective test on this novel will also be given during the first two weeks of school. Those who have English 2nd semester will test during smart lunch and assignments through Google Classroom as well. If you have questions regarding the assignment, please email your teacher. Mrs. Staples (
[email protected]) for regular English questions and Mrs. Paslay (
[email protected]) for Honors English. Emails will be checked and answered periodically throughout the summer.

The quotes and analysis should be typed and written in complete sentences.
VOCABULARY Choose a total of twenty-five vocabulary words from the memoir. These words may be words that are new to you, or they may be words important to the story (there are a lot of words directly related to the Holocaust, Judaism, the Hebrew language, religion, or Nazi Germany that you may not be familiar with). Write the sentence that the word is in AND provide a dictionary definition for the word as it is used in the book.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Choose any five of the questions below to answer. Your goal is to demonstrate some ability to think about what you’ve read and to communicate those thoughts in writing. Please use complete sentences, and strive to craft a paragraph that answers all aspects of the question within it. Make sure you use text evidence to support your answers. When there is more than one question included, the order you respond to them doesn’t matter as long as you cover all the bases. Each question is worth 10 points, and you may receive only partial credit for brief or incomplete answers. Make sure the question number you are answering is clearly marked, and please type your answers. 1. When Moshe tells Elie that he has “come to tell the story of his death” what changes have occurred in Moshe’s character since the beginning of the novel? 2. What images and thoughts from that first night at the concentration camp can Elie never forget? 3. The hanging of the pipel is an important turning point in the novel both in terms of the effect the hanging has on the prisoners and on the overall ideas that the pipel represents. Explain these effects in greater detail. 4. What is ironic in the statement, “I’ve got more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He’s the only one who’s kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people”? What other examples are there of irony in the novel? 5. Explain the relationship between Elie and his father. Note the changes in their relationship as they endure the harshness of the camps. Use text evidence to support your answer. 6. Many have commented on the savagery shown by the Nazis in a supposed modern and civilized world. Juliek’s violin represents cultured civilization amidst the brutality of the camps. Comment on how the Nazis could justify their actions toward the Jewish people. 7. How is the passage describing the fight over the piece of bread in the open cattle car one of both horror and sadness? 8. How does Elie change over the course of the novel? Use text evidence to support your answer. 9. McAfee Brown says, “It must be the prayer of our generation that with his (Elie Wiesel’s) help we can recapture enough of that reality so it will never be repeated.” Do you believe that the atrocities of the Holocaust will be repeated someday? Do you believe this novel can have that powerful of an impact? Explain your answer. 10. What are the various images and thoughts associated with the word “night” and why do you think Wiesel chose this word for the title of his novel? 11. Give examples of the ways in which similes and metaphors are used and the overall effect their use has on the writing itself.
HICKORY GROVE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS, continued 12. One of the themes in the novel is faith. How does Akiba Drumer’s personal faith in God and in himself change? How does Elie’s faith in God and himself change? Why does one choose to die and the other to live?
ANNOTATIONS Annotations should include your marking on the pages for significant literary elements (foreshadowing, metaphor, simile, character definitions, personification, etc.).
OTHER INSTRUCTIONS This assignment should be done on a Google Slide Presentation and shared within your Google Classroom by Friday, August 18th. You will receive login information the first week of school for your Google Classroom.
HONORS ASSIGNMENT Complete the assignment above plus the one below: Read the following excerpt from Night: “Come, Father, let’s go back to the shed…” He didn’t answer. He was not even looking at the dead. “Come, Father. It’s better there. You’ll be able to lie down. We’ll take turns. I’ll watch over you and you’ll watch over me. We won’t let each other fall asleep. We’ll look after each other.” He accepted. After trampling over many bodies and corpses, we succeeded in getting inside. We let ourselves fall to the ground. “Don’t worry, son. Go to sleep. I’ll watch over you.” “You first, Father. Sleep” (89). Think about this statement: For many people, it can be difficult to accept help from others as they believe this may show them to be unable to manage their own problems. Write an essay explaining when it is necessary to accept help to overcome a difficult situation. You will write your essay on a Google Doc; it should follow MLA guidelines, include an introduction with a thesis, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
