Summer Reading 2012
The Bellarmine English Department requests that during the summer months our students stay active as readers. In light of this, we request that students read each summer. Students, upon their return to school, will be given an exam that will allow them to express their understanding of the summer reading.
Emphasis will be on characterization, theme development, and personal insight rather than simply on plot. Students may also be asked to identify quotations. Students may keep journals through the summer to help them recall their thoughts about their reading. These journals may be useful for the exams. If students read their books early in the summer, they may wish to review them before school begins.
See the link below for the Summer Reading List -- as well as the links for the incoming freshmen and incoming sophomore writing assignments for summer reading. Summer reading book purchases will be available online or via telephone (toll-free 1-877-827-2665) starting June 1 through Follett Virtual Bookstore.
