Required Reading Philosophy: The Pebblebrook English Department believes that the required reading assignment is an opportunity for students to establish a broad literary foundation and exercise independent reading and thinking skills. Students entering ANY English course must follow the directions below. See chart below for specific reading assignments.
Advanced Composition: Read Parts 1 and 2. Pick 4 sections from Part 3 to read (pick those that you think will interest you most. Create a blog using the attached directions, or update the blog you used in your previous English class. Set up one page each for Parts 1, 2, and 3. On each page, write a one paragraph summary and reflection of what you learned from that chapter. For each of the 4 sections you chose from Part 3, write a sample paragraph applying the skills you learned in that section. (For example, if you read “Sports,” write a one paragraph piece of sports writing using those tips. If you read “Humor,” write one paragraph using humor.)
Honors Advanced Composition: Complete the same assignment as on-level except you will read the entire text and complete assignments for EACH chapter. (Your blog address is due to your teacher on THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL regardless of what semester you have literature.)
