Dear Genesis Students,
This summer, you will be asked to read books from the lists below. While reading, you should keep track of important information from the books.
- For the required book, all students (grades 6-8) must complete a “One-Pager.” This will help prepare you for an in-class essay in September. Please see the information and sample here for more details.
- For incoming 6th graders only, the second book is a student's choice book. Please review these options with your parents/guardians and use websites like www.commonsensemedia.org to evaluate the books before you make your selection. Students should take notes while reading as they will be required to write an in-class essay on the book during the first full week of classes.
If you have any questions, please email me at kmorris@joe-yan.net.
Enjoy your summer!
Ms. Kathleen Morris
English Department Chairperson
