All Grade
Levels
All students are expected to obtain the
necessary books to fulfill the listed requirements. All area libraries,
bookstores and online bookstores have been asked to make copies of the books
available for borrowing or purchase. In addition, the IMC has "limited"
quantities of many of the books on the Summer Reading List, which are available
for borrowing on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those students going into
AP 12 or AP Prep 11 will be asked to obtain books and assignments
directly from their teachers before school lets out for the summer
The summer reading must be completed before the first day of school in September. All students will be required to demonstrate their knowledge of their summer reading through an assessment in the early part of September. The grade on this assignment will comprise approximately 10-15% of the student's grade for the first marking period. The English teacher will provide students with specific instructions about the evaluation of their reading selection (s). Most assessments, however, will be of an objective nature (multiple choice, true-false, matching column, fill in the blanks). Some may include a short, open-ended written response. Generally, there will be about 50 questions..
Honors English 9-12
Students will read 2 books from the list, one of which must be
asterisked as an Honors selection.
College Prep English A and B
9-12
Students will read 1 book from the list. At the student's
option, that one book may be chosen from those which have been
asterisked as a required Honors selection.
Literature and Composition 11
Students will read 1 book from the required Literature and Composition
list
AP Prep English 11 and AP
English 12
Students have a mandatory reading list and will be required to see
their individual teachers for receipt of the books. Students taking AP may also
be required to complete packets on ancient and classical literature.
The IMC has copies of many of the summer reading books. You can check these out
before you leave school and June and return them in September. The Margaret
Heggan Library has several copies of each book. You can place a hold on the
book by using their online catalog.

If you read the book in May or June, there’s a chance you will not do so well
on the book test which occurs in September. Our suggestion is to begin your
reading towards the middle of summer (so that the book will still be fresh in
your mind when you take the test). Those who will be tested on multiple books (Honors,
AP Prep and AP courses) will obviously have to start sooner than the middle
of the summer, so try to time the reading as best you can.
EBook Instructions
