This course is open to all students, but some will be required to take the course, contingent upon their admission. The course will help prepare students for high school English courses.

Summer Reading List

In an effort to foster a love of reading and to spend time reflecting on the spirit of our founding sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the department has selected a book for each grade level that connects with the primary charism of our sisters that is a central focus of our school and learning. There is one text assigned per grade, regardless of level or course.

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to foster a love of reading and develop a deeper sense of the school’s charism as a foundation for the school year.

Expectation: Students are expected to actively read and annotate the book chosen for their grade level. While reading, students should reflect on the charism aligned with that novel and be ready to discuss and participate in activities centered around the book when they begin the school year.

Assessment: When students return they will engage in a variety of activities based on the assigned text in their classes. Activities will vary according to course, but could include discussion, Socratic Seminar, group projects, individual projects, a written essay, creative writing, etc. The expectation is that students will have read the book and be ready to engage with the text during the first week(s) of school.
