Grade 8 ELA Summer Reading

Summer Reading 2020/2021

Entering Grade 8

    Welcome to 8th grade at MPRCS.  I am looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and fun.  This summer I would like you to read as much as possible.  Reading is fun.  There are two books that I require you to read.  The first book is Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor.  The second book is Soldier’s Heart by Gary Paulsen.

    After reading each book, I would like you to write a one page reaction paper to the book.  In this paper I would like to know what your reaction to the book was.  Did you like it? Why or why not?  What did you like about the book, and what did you not like about the book?  These papers are to be typed, Times New Roman, 12 font, and 1.5 spacing.  This paper is to be AT LEAST ONE PAGE.  Both papers are to be turned in the first day of school. If you prefer, you can turn them in through Google Classroom. 

    Have a wonderful summer, enjoy your free time, and READ!  See you in September.
