Criteria
for Book Selection
The English Department believes that the 2009-2010 Summer Reading
List
- represents a variety of genres and a balance of classical
and contemporary literature;
- pays attention to general student interests as well as
to specific gender interests
- contains many books that have received favorable reviews
and awards
- provides a range of books in terms of reading ability
within each age-appropriate level
- supplements the core curriculum, includes titles with
local interest, and exposes students to different cultures
- includes books that teachers find exceptionally well suited
to assist with the students’ intellectual, emotional,
and moral development.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate
to contact Chad Wabrek, English Department Chair,
or the appropriate teacher. We seek to improve the book list
every year and only through constructive dialogue can we respond
in an appropriate way.
