All incoming freshman will complete a summer reading assignment. Each
student will read two books or one book and a magazine. YOU MAY READ ANY BOOK
YOU WANT AS LONG AS IT IS 100 PAGES LONG OR LONGER AND YOU HAVE NEVER READ THE
BOOK BEFORE!!!
Each student will create a visual for the summer reading and present the
visual on Friday the first full week
of school in September. The visual can be combined to include both books or
be two separate visuals. It's
up to the student!

There are several sites with reading lists for summer. The Kitsap Regional
Library has great suggestions as does Barnes & Noble. Here is a site not
everyone knows about called Shmoop! This is a link to their summer reading
suggestions for 2011 and 2012:

patient. I'll answer questions and help out where I can.

THE LISTS. THE PRIMARY FOCUS SHOULD BE TO FIND READING YOU WILL BE INTERESTED
