Senior Summer Reading Assignment Assessment: For your summer reading, you will be taking a reading test and creating a presentation with a visual aid. Each of these assignments will be worth a test grade, for a total of two test grades. BE PREPARED TO HAND IN YOUR VISUAL AID AND TAKE THE TEST ON THE DAY YOU COME BACK FROM SUMMER VACATION!! Accountability: You will be signing for your packet so that teachers will be aware who received the assignment and will be able to contact those who were absent, transferred, etc. This means that there will be no acceptable excuses for not doing your summer reading. You have over two months to complete this assignment, which is plenty of time to rest, relax, and do your summer reading. Don’t put it off until the last minute, because you don’t want to start off the year on the wrong foot, especially senior year when graduation is on the line. Part 1: Reading Test The week you come back to school, you will be taking a test on every short story and poem included in the packet. Skimming the packet or reading some summaries online will not be sufficient to pass this test. You will need to read each story and poem carefully, and it is a good idea to take notes in your packet so that you have something to study to review for the test. Part 2: Presentation with Visual Aid For each of the three themes in the summer reading packet (it happened one summer, culture and family, and decisions), you will need to create a visual aid that represents a personal connection you made to each of the stories and poems in that theme’s collection with both a picture and words. For example, while reading The Crucible, I was reminded of a time when I accidentally told a friend’s secret. She was very mad at me, and our whole group of friends started calling me a rat. My visual representation for this work might look like this: RAT!!! SHAME ( Because
