Dover-Sherborn High School Summer Reading List 2010

		Summer Reading is mandatory for ALL grades. Rising 9th, 10th and 11th grade students have an English AND a History reading requirement. All rising 12th grade students have an English requirement, but only AP Government and Politics students have a history requirement. Please read the requirements for each grade, subject, and level carefully. Students should be prepared to discuss and to write about the required reading upon return to school in September. For your further reading pleasure, a list of recommended books follows the list of required texts. To be prepared when you return to school in September, we recommend (Required for those taking AP) the following to help you to remember what you have read and to engage in thinking about your reading: Ø Keep a journal of your reflections on your summer reading. Ø Note lines, images, details that seem significant, memorable, or reveal important themes. Note favorite quotations or passages from the book (with page numbers). Ø Raise probing questions. Please bring your books, journals, notes and questions on the first day of class. Our goal is to encourage students to become life-long readers and to see reading as an integral and vital part of their lives and learning. Reading invites us to think more critically and inspires us to think beyond ourselves. It transports us to places we have not been and into new worlds of thought and experience. Good books generate conversation with family and friends, and they provide a filter through which we can clarify our thinking. We sincerely hope that you will find the summer reading choices appealing and engaging. Happy reading! *~The English and Social Studies Departments*
