British Literature

Summer Reading List

2008-09

Mr. Garner

Students enrolled in British Literature next year, may receive and apply extra credit to marking periods of their choice up to a maximum of 10 points per period or 40 points for the year.  To receive credit, read a selection option from the list below, write a paper summarizing the book (one and one half pages typed, double space, 12 font, Times New Roman), to include themes and applied Biblical principles, and attach a signed parental confirmation sheet verifying your work. Due on the first day of school, each assignment below is worth 10 points. You may, therefore, choose only four assignments for credit.  Do not turn in a reading completed prior to this summer. It must be a reading on this list completed this summer.
