9H Summer Reading - A Separate Peace Welcome to English 9 Honors! It is required for all honors students at CHHS to complete a summer reading assignment. During your English 9H semester, we’ll be studying identity. We’ll answer questions like “What makes up who a person is?” and “What things can change my identity?” and “What is my identity?” We will look at many different aspects of identity, so this summer, we’ll start by looking at how friendships (as well as world affairs--like wars) affect our identities. We’ll do that by reading the novel A Separate Peace by John Knowles. For your summer reading assignment, you will do the following: ● Discussion Packet (Quiz Grade): After this introduction page, you will find the discussion packet which should be completed this summer. It is due the second day of school, regardless of what semester you take English. Answers should be completed in detail. Sections of the discussion packet have specific directions. Please follow them. ● In-Class Test (Test Grade): You will complete an in-class test on the second day of school. If you have English second semester, you will take this test second-semester. I advise you to take notes while reading (notebook paper or Post-It notes—not by writing in the book) so that come test time, you have study materials. The test will ask basic questions that you should easily be able to answer if you read. The test will be different in the second semester to prevent cheating. ● Other Assignments? We may do other assignments in class that will be separate grades. This could include a paper, additional discussion or seminar, or a project. Be prepared by reading thoroughly. You may not work with another student on this discussion packet. You may not gain answers from another student, a parent, the internet, or any other source. You may ask a peer or parent for help if you do not understand, but packets should be completed on your own. If needed, please contact me over the summer via email: [email protected]If you wish to purchase your own book, here is the info: Publisher: Scribner (September 30, 2003) ISBN-10: 0743253973 ISBN-13: 978-0743253970

9H Summer Reading - A Separate Peace
Welcome to English 9 Honors! It is required for all honors students at CHHS to
complete a summer reading assignment. During your English 9H semester, we’ll be
studying identity. We’ll answer questions like “What makes up who a person is?”
and “What things can change my identity?” and “What is my identity?” We will
look at many different aspects of identity, so this summer, we’ll start by looking at
how friendships (as well as world affairs--like wars) affect our identities. We’ll do
that by reading the novel A Separate Peace by John Knowles.
For your summer reading assignment, you will do the following:
● Discussion Packet (Quiz Grade): After this introduction page, you will find the discussion
packet which should be completed this summer. It is due the second day of school,
regardless of what semester you take English. Answers should be completed in detail.
Sections of the discussion packet have specific directions. Please follow them.
● In-Class Test (Test Grade): You will complete an in-class test on the second day of school. If
you have English second semester, you will take this test second-semester. I advise you to
take notes while reading (notebook paper or Post-It notes—not by writing in the book) so
that come test time, you have study materials. The test will ask basic questions that you
should easily be able to answer if you read. The test will be different in the second semester
to prevent cheating.
● Other Assignments? We may do other assignments in class that will be separate grades.
This could include a paper, additional discussion or seminar, or a project. Be prepared by
reading thoroughly.
You may not work with another student on this discussion packet. You may not
gain answers from another student, a parent, the internet, or any other source.
