You can find Mr. McCabe's summer homework assignment here.  Get busy!  The first part is due on July 10, 2014!

9th Grade Honors English - Summer 2014

The summer between eighth and ninth grade, students are required to read the following books:
The Help, by Kathryn Stockett
The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton

Students will be tested on these books the first week of the new school year.

If you have any questions about the literary selections, you are welcome to contact Ms. Amy Jacobs (ajacobs[at]busd.k12.ca.us) or Ms. Kristy Brown (krbrown[at]busd.k12.ca.us).

During the school year, students will read specific books from the ninth curriculum as well as selected readings completed on their own time. This reading load is consistent with similar Honors English classes in other advanced programs.

Honors English 10 with Mr. Eastham

1

0th graders taking Honors English for the 2014-2015 school year are required to read three novels over the summer: 

• Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
• The Pearl by John Steinbeck, and 
• Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya

There will be two tests on these books in early September which will count as a significant portion of the students’ first semester grades. One test will be an in-class essay, and the other will be a short-answer test, also done in-class. The Steinbeck and Anaya books may be checked out from Mayfair’s school library, and all books are available at most public libraries and/or book stores. If for any reason you are unable to obtain any of the books, please contact me so that accommodations can be made. If you need to, you may contact me by email at geastham[at]busd.k12.ca.us.

For Their Eyes Were Watching God, be sure to read the Foreword and the Afterword as well as the novel itself. Be prepared to discuss and write about these novels at length in September. 

Students who do not complete the summer reading and/or do not pass both summer reading test will be dropped from Honors English. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS.
