English Department ~ Summer Reading List
Aloha e Haumäna and Mäkua,
Within a few short weeks/days, summer will be upon us, and the onset of summer means that your Summer Reading assignment is available. Hurrah!!! Great books to read/absorb/savor! This e-mail letter as well as a reminder e-mail in July is meant to direct you (as either haumäna or mäkua) to our department website at http://kapalama.ksbe.edu/high/english/ for our Summer Reading List. Our website includes our required Summer Reading Lists, grades 9-12, which you can reference throughout the summer or the week/night before school starts—for those who have mastered the art of procrastination.
When you visit our website, you will notice that our Summer Reading Lists are divided by grade level as well as our Honors and Hawaiian/Pacific/World literature (HPWL) strands. You need to consult the list assigned to the grade level you have chosen for your schedule next year. For example, if you are schedule for English 9 next year, and you also decided to choose our HPWL line, then your Summer Reading List will be different than that of your friend who decided to stick with our traditional English 9 curriculum.
On the first day of school, your new English teacher will expect you to have read your chosen book, and he/she may choose to test you on the first day or anytime within the first week of school. He/she will also ask you to turn in your Summer Reading Parent Form, which you can find at the top of our department website. Please print and sign by the first day of school. Mahalo nui loa!
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at mokaiwi@ksbe.edu, or your counselor. Happy reading!
Mälama pono,
Kumu Kaiwi
