ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!!!

INCOMING HONORS EIGHTH GRADERS YOU HAVE ASSIGNED READING!!

April 18th, 2012

Dear Parent/Guardian:
As summer approaches, the eighth grade ELA teachers at Mandeville Junior High 
have been very busy selecting a book for our summer reading program.   We 
have worked diligently to provide a book which reflects the interests and 
reading levels of our students.

Over the summer, each eighth grade honors ELA student will be required to 
read one novel from the list below.    Students will be responsible for 
reading the novel and being prepared to discuss it by the first day of 
school, Wednesday, August 8th, 2012.  Language Arts teachers will assess 
student reading of the novel on Friday, August 24th, 2012.  The summer 
reading book will also be used to complete a project during the first quarter 
and in writing lessons throughout the year.

Select one of the following novels to read:
After the Rain   by N. Mazer
Scorpions   by W. Myers
Murder on the Orient Express by A. Christie

Our local bookstore and libraries are aware of the required novels.   Also, 
you may want to search online for discounted new or used copies of the novels 
(such as Book Rack in Mandeville).  You will need a copy of the book for 
assignments in class, so please make arrangements.

As our society continues to make demands on us, we hope you will agree that 
strong, independent, confident readers provide the basis for success in all 
endeavors.  We thank all parents and guardians for their support.  As we all 
read together, we wish you and your children a summer of exciting and 
pleasurable reading adventure.

Enjoy your summer!

Sincerely,

Eighth Grade Honors English Language Arts Teachers
