SUMMER READING INSTRUCTIONS
You will be reading two books this summer. The first is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This is one of the most famous books in American Literature. It is not to be taken lightly. It requires a mature approach to the reading and the content. We wlll be working with this novel first in September and will explore the setting, characters, plot, theme, etc.
The second book is The Outsiders. While you are reading , use sticky notes to identify the character traits for all of the main characters. Be sure to identify the direct characterization and be able to prove why you think that is direct. Be sure to identify the indirect characterization and be able to prove why you think it is indirect. We will be working with the novel after we finish To Kill a Mockingbird. Use your sticky notes to identify the key parts of the book.
