During the summer holiday, all students except seniors must read three books from the list for their particular grade level. SENIORS must read two books from their list. 2. All students except seniors will be evaluated on two books during the first two weeks of the fall semester and on one book during the first two weeks of second semester. SENIORS will be evaluated on one book during the first two weeks of fall semester and on one other during the first two weeks of spring semester. 3. Only one of the books read may be a play. 4. Students may read only the books listed for their particular grade level. They may not substitute other books, nor may they report on books listed for another grade level. 5. No credit will be given for a condensed version of a book or for a book that has been read and studied in another class. If, for example, a student reads Buck’s The Good Earth for her history class, she may not receive credit for it in English. 6. The English Department does not allow the use of any such superficial and often faulty supplements such as Cliff’s Notes, Monarch Notes, Sparknotes, Pink Monkey, or any other notes. These supplements likewise are restricted for all summer reading texts as well as for all classroom texts read throughout the year for any English class. If a teacher sees one of these books, it will be confiscated. 7. Students must have read completely each book on which they report. Failing to read and report honestly on a given work constitutes a violation of Salem’s Honor Code. 8. As always, any deliberate, careless, or negligent use of another’s ideas— where a direct quotation or a borrowed idea—will be considered plagiarism if it is not fully cited in any summer reading report. The English Department reports every instance of plagiarism to the Honor Cabinet and the student will receive a zero for the assignment.
