Honors English IV Summer Assignment for Class of 2013

Honors English IV Summer Assignment for the Class of 2013

You will be required to read two books in completion BEFORE the first day of school.  You need to purchase and read Jane Eyre and Things Fall Apart.   There is no written work required.  You need to read and think about (some note taking wouldn’t hurt) the things that may be tested and discussed when we return to school.  Have ideas about the following:

·      Characterization

·      Major and Minor Themes

·      Setting

·      Imagery and Symbolism

·      Conflicts

·      Important Author Information

·      Important Quotes

The first day of school will consist of tests over both books.  You will have multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions to be answered.  If you read the books in June, you may want to do some review before the test.  It is super important that you do not wait until the last minute and try to cram it all in.  This course mainly consists of you reading independently and being able to discuss in class.  I look forward to an exciting senior year!!     M.
