Students entering grades 9-12 will be required to read two books over the summer. The English Department will post a list of titles for each grade level on the Shenendehowa web site. Students must make their selection from the titles on the list. Lists will also be available from teachers and at the local library. Some courses will have specific assignments: 9 Honors, World Culture and World Literature H, and AP English may issue books to students prior to the end of the school year. When students return in September they will be asked to write a critical lens essay based on their selected books. It is recommended that students outline, take notes or keep a  log. Additional directions and suggestions will be provided to students by their English teachers.
