This committee included students, parents, community members, teachers and department chairs. The following guidelines were adopted for all high schools in Greenville County: 1. Every high school student will participate in the summer reading program. Students in English I CP, English II CP, English III CP, CWP III, English IV, and CWP IV will read two books during the summer. Students in Honors and AP English classes will read three books. 2. Books selected for our students came from a master list approved by the Summer Reading Advisory Committee. 3. Students will take notes on each novel they read. The notes are limited to one page, and they will be collected on the first day of school for credit. Notes will be returned prior to the essay assessment. 4. Within the first ten days of school, each student will respond to one of the essay options listed with his summer reading. The student may not use his notes while writing the essay. 5. The notes and the essay assessments will equal 5% of the report card grade for the first nine weeks. Note-Taking Strategies: 1. Focus your notes on the essay questions you may have to answer. 2. Make sure you include the title of the novel, the author’s name, and all major characters’ names in your notes. 3. Try writing a short plot summary in less than 20 sentences. The limitation will make you focus on the most important events. 4. Take notes about the setting – where is it? What time period? Does the setting reflect in the character’s dialect? Their customs? 5. Honors and AP students need to select a quote that is significant to the work. You may need it for one of the questions. 6. Make notes about things you like in the book. 7. Limit your notes to the front side of one page for each novel. Notes may be handwritten or typed.
