In addition to Brother Martin’s grade-level summer reading selections, the English Department requires all students enrolled in Honors or Advanced Placement (AP) courses to read an additional summer reading novel. All Honors and AP students should finish reading the text assigned to their courses prior to the first day of classes on August 13th. See the list below for reading assignments.
Within the first weeks of the 2018-19 academic year, the teacher for each course will assess students’ reading comprehension and analysis through various measures, including, but not limited to objective tests, essay responses, class discussions, journal writing, Socratic seminars, graphic organizers, and other activities.
Please read the information about the Brother Martin Summer Reading Program that applies to all students for the 2018-2019 academic year. For Honors English information for grades 8th and 9th, please see below for further information.
