Summer Reading 2010
Windham High School
English Department
"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." –Groucho Marx
Message from the English Department
The development of literacy is an ongoing process that continues beyond the confines of school. Just as an athlete continually practices his or her sport or an actor practices his or her lines, reading is a skill that improves with practice.
*Please note:
For students in AP and Honors classes, the work is required. Students enrolled in AP classes will be dropped from the course if summer work is not completed on time. In Honors classes, students who do not complete their summer work will incur point penalties that will make it impossible to earn an "A".
Students in Academic and Standard classes are strongly encouraged to read this summer and they can earn extra credit during the first semester of the year.
Detailed descriptions of the requirements and deadlines for all grades and levels are included in this brochure.
