Due Date:  the first day of school

Students entering Grade 7 will be required to read and report on TWO books during the summer, one fiction selection and one nonfiction selection.

All students will read the following nonfiction selection:  The Hive Detectives:  Chronicle of a Honey Bee Disaster by Loree Griffin Burnes.

A copy of this book will be given to you on the last day of school.  You are responsible for maintaining it in it’s current condition and returning it to school in August or replacing it with a new copy.

You will fill out the NON FICTION FORM you will receive from your teacher.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All students will read:   choose one of the two books from the following list of fiction choices below:

     Fever 1793 by Mary Halse Anderson

     or

     Woods Runner by Gary Paulsen

To report on the book you choose, pick one of the following options:

Option 1.  Keep a literature log.  For each chapter or for every 20 pages write:

• a response – What is going on in the story? What does it mean? What thoughts and feeling did you have as you read it?

• a question about what you have read

• a connection to something that happened to you or something you read or saw

• a prediction about what will happen next

Label each log entry according to chapters or page numbers.

Do not write a summary of the book.

Option 2.  Imagine that you are the main character.  Write 3 journal entries, one for the beginning of the book, one for the middle, and one for the end.  Include what you imagine would be the character’s thoughts, feelings, and reactions.  Length:  1 or 2 pages total, typed, double spaced, size 12.

Option 3.  Write a poem about the book which includes elements of the setting, characters, plot, and theme. Length: at least one page typed, double spaced, size 12.

Option 4.  Write a script for a dramatization of one of the chapters or events in the book, and either perform it as a reader’s theater for the class or video it to show to the class.  You will also pass in the script.  Length:  at least 2 pages typed, double-spaced, size 12.

Option 5.  Create a picture book from the story.  Tell the story in simple language and illustrate with 10-12 pictures.

*Your finished products should represent time and effort and a careful and thoughtful reading of the books.  All work should be neatly done, and should not include spelling or grammatical errors.  Points will be subtracted for work that is late.

Please note! As your Language Art teachers we expect and hope that you will read much as you can this summer beyond these two required selections!

Reading is truly the key to success in school.  We hope you like these selections and wish you a safe and happy summer!

See you next year!
