SUMMER READING
2008
                              BYRAM HILLS HIGH SCHOOL                           

 

Expectations:

        For the Byram Hills Summer Reading Program, each student is expected to read two books from the summer reading list and participate in a book seminar on one of those titles in September.  In addition, each student must select a minimum of two meaningful quotations or short passages from each text and record them separately onto one side of an index card.  Include page numbers.  On the back of each card, an explanation of the significance of the quotation must be included. 

        In order to receive credit for the summer reading books, each student must submit index cards and participate in a seminar discussion.  Please remember that although there is a choice regarding book selections, each student will not be given the choice to select a specific seminar in September. Therefore, it is imperative that quotations and thoughts are prepared for both books.  Seminar groups will be posted the morning of the school-wide seminar.

        In order to help students make appropriate selections, a copy of each book will be available in the high school library for a preview on May 13 and 14.  Most of the books will be available during the HCC book fair for middle school students.
