Here's to hoping that everyone has an enjoyable summer break.  However, as you all very well know, you each have a summer reading assignment that needs to be completed before the first day of school.  

Incoming Freshmen:  You will have a short paper to write over the novel you have read.

Incoming Seniors:  You will have a diagnostic quiz on the first Friday of school and will also be writing a research paper over the following weeks using a combination of critical essays  and your own findings.  Be forewarned, the summer reading assignment is a requirement.  See you soon....
NOTE- As for the texts, I suggest Amazon.com  I ordered mine from there and they were fairly inexpensive.
