Description: Students will understand the techniques for analyzing literature, the elements of fiction, how to annotate the reading, vocabulary, and expression. A syllabus will be provided to each student for the two week class. All students are responsible to start the summer reading prior to the beginning of class. If a student can only attend the second week, they are responsible for acquiring a syllabus and completing the first week's reading assignments. Non-Benjamin students should provide their own summer reading list to the teacher prior to the start of class. This class offers a great opportunity to "chip away" at the summer reading requirements for each grade level.

Reading for Understanding Grade 9

Description: Students are expected to have started the required reading book for their grade level and may be required to keep a journal. The first week, students will review the text while focusing on writing basics including; vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. Students will also discuss essential pre-writing steps (ideas, brainstorms, outlines and maps), while also establishing what it takes for quality writing. Students will complete a series of small writing assignments for practice and finish the second week with a five paragraph essay regarding the summer reading book.
