Summer Reading 2021: 9th-12th Grade Reads

Students will be asked to complete summer reading formative assessment pieces by Monday, August 30, 2021:

You can choose either:

• to write a letter to your English Teacher about each of your books
  • Each letter should be no less than 200 words long
  • For detailed instructions, see: Summer Reading 2021 - Letter to Teacher Option
  • Email the letter to your teacher - either Ms. Nordleaf or Ms. Garvin

OR

• create a Flipgrid video response to your two summer reads.
  • Go to: https://flipgrid.com/7b79bd3e
  • Login with your WSA email address
  • Join Code: 7b79bd3e
  • See the tutorial video below

Plan Ahead! If you have no idea what to read or where to begin then email Ms. Nordleaf or Susan Trower and they will help you find the right book!

If you choose the letter option for your summer reading assessment piece, please follow these guidelines.

For EACH BOOK you read you will write a letter to your English Teacher at WSA. You will find out who your English teacher is by the end of July. This letter is a great way to introduce yourself and talk about the books you read over the summer.

In your letters for each book, you will explain:

1. What you liked about the book you read – or what you didn’t like.
2.  What was the climax of the book – the highest point of energy.
3. Who was your favorite character and why?
4. If you could change one aspect of the book, what would it be?

Formatting:

1. Create your letter in a google doc or a word document.
2. DO NOT send your letter in the body of an email. Send it as an attached document.
3. Please use Arial or Times New Roman.
4. The letter should be no less than 200 words long.
5. Our first class project is going to involve your summer reading book so the more details you put in your letter the more fun you will have with your first project!
