ALL students are required to read two titles from the entire list.
Students taking AP or Honors classes must choose books that are marked with an asterisk (*).
The books marked with an asterisk (*) are for more mature readers. These books are more challenging to comprehend, and they might also involve mature topics such as sex, violence, drugs, and/or alcohol. Please ask Leane Ellis at the Beebe Library if you have questions about a book’s content. She is more than happy to help students and their parents in their process of selecting summer reading books. Some book descriptions also mention that the books contain “explicit sexual content” so that students and their parents can avoid choosing such books if they are not comfortable with them.
ALL students (except for AP students who will receive a more in-depth literary terms assignment at the June meeting) are required to complete the “Literary Elements and Techniques” worksheet for one of these choice books. It is important to note that the “Literary Elements and Techniques” worksheet is due on the first day of the school year (September 8, 2010).
CP and Honors students will receive the second choice book assignment at the beginning of the school year.
The summer reading lists and assignments are available online on the English Department’s web page. Go to www.wakefield.k12.ma.us –>Wakefield High –> Departments –> English –> Summer Reading.
