Summer Reading
Hello sophomores! This summer we will be reading two novels and one play:
Projects/Summer Reading Assignments:
- The Stranger, by Albert Camus
- A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen
- The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
Projects/Summer Reading Assignments:
- 25-minute, in-class timed write our first week of class on one of the readings. It could be on any of the readings, so you must read each one closely and carefully. Please see the rubric below ("Timed Write Rubric") to see how you can do your best on this first essay assignment.
- Choice of either:
- iMovie or weVideo (must be at least 7 minutes long, can be done in groups of 4 or fewer students) acting out a portion of one of the readings. In addition to the video, you must complete a well-written, grammatically correct, one-page rationale explaining your choices of costumes, scenery, and any other creative decisions made in your video. Please look at the rubric below ("Summer Reading Video Rubric") to see how you will be scored so that you can be sure to meet all requirements.
- Google Presentation (must be at least 10 slides, completed individually) discussing one of the themes/symbols about one of the readings. Presentation must include the chosen theme/symbol, at least 2 examples of when this theme/symbol appears in the reading (including page numbers and direct quotes), as well as an explanation of the importance of this theme/symbol. This presentation must be written without grammar, spelling, capitalization, or mechanical mistakes. Note that I can read Sparknotes as well and will know if you are simply using their answers for your project. Please look at the rubric below ("Summer Reading Themes/Symbols Rubric") to see how you will be scored so that you can be sure to meet all requirements.
- Whichever project you chose must be shared before 3:30pm on August 17, 2015. We will be presenting these projects our first week of class.
