Greetings!

 

I hope you are enjoying your summer vacation. If you are like my daughter, however, I am sure you have uttered the sentence “I’m bored” by now.  This letter is sent to provide some relief from that ennui!

 

Here is your summer reading list – a collection of novels written for students at your grade level.  As your English teacher, I am requesting that you read TWO (2) of these books before September 6, 2006 (the first day of the new school year) and that you will have completed the first of the two by the end of the first week in August (8/5/06). 

 

You see, I will be sending out an assignment that week. If you choose to complete this assignment, you will be starting off the 2006-2007 with some Extra Credit!!!

 

In any event, there will be assigned work in September that deals with this reading so get to it!

 

Here are your choices: Please choose books you have not yet read!
