2009 Summer Guided Reading Questions/Assignments

All present and incoming students have required reading for the summer. The English Department has created a number of guided reading questions and/or assignments, which are meant to help you understand the major themes in the novels and to be better prepared to take the tests on these novels in August. Answering the questions is not required; however, the honors assignments are mandatory.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Richmond at 480-948-2443.
