Summer Reading Assisgnments
Learning should not stop simply because students are out of school for the summer. For this reason, all students at Lutheran High School East have a summer reading assignment. The assignment varies by class, but will involve reading and then completing a series of writings about the books read. There will also be a test on the readings early in the first quarter of each school year.
All the books are readily available at local libraries. Students who have their school-provided Chromebooks can download the books for free using the OverDrive® website and their school accounts. Students can log in to OverDrive® by clicking here.
For all regular English classes, students will read one book that has been assigned. Once the reading has been completed, you will then create a slideshow presentation. Students will create one slide per bullet point on the attached document, for a total of 15 slides. An example of the project will be listed below. Please be prepared to have assignments on the book once we return to school in the fall.
For all Honors English classes, students are assigned two books. Students will need to read both books but they will only choose ONE book to complete their project. Once the reading has been completed, you will then create a slideshow presentation. Students will create one slide per bullet point on the attached document, for a total of 15 slides. An example of the project will be listed below. Please be prepared to have assignments on both books once we return to school in the fall.
If you have questions about your assignment, please email [email protected] for assistance.
