Mater Dei Catholic High School Summer Reading Assignment Assignment description Choose ONE book from the reading list for your grade level (your grade level is the grade you will be enrolled in the fall when school starts). Then, read the book and as you read create a dialectical journal using 15 quotes from the book (see the example below for clarification). You must include quotes from the entire novel (beginning, middle, and end). In essence, you must also choose a variety of quotes which demonstrate that you have read the entire book and understand its major themes and literary techniques. Due Date The journal must be typed and is due on the FIRST DAY OF CLASS. All dialectical journals MUST BE TYPED or they will not be accepted. Save your work! You will need to upload it to TurnItIn.com during the first week of school. Your teacher will explain this on the first day of class. Grading Summer Reading is no longer pass/fail. Summer Reading will be graded on an A-F grading scale and will count as a 50 point test/paper for the first grading period. Dialectical journal A dialectical journal gives you the opportunity to respond to a book and discuss not only what you think it means, but what it says to you. Here is what you need to do for each of the books: A. B. C. D. On the top of the page, type your name. Below your name, type the title and author of the book you chose. Create a two column chart with 15 rows. In the left column, type the quote that you chose and include the page number in proper MLA format. In the right column, respond to each quote by answering the following 4 questions in complete sentences: 1. Plot Summary/Lead - Identify the quote. Provide a “lead” and answer the 5w’s (who, what, when, where, and why). - Who is speaking to whom? What are they discussing? Where are they? Why are they speaking? 2. Interpret - Translate the words in the quote using synonyms (or like words). What do the words in the quote mean? 3. Analyze - What is the author’s purpose? What impact does the quote have regarding the book’s message? Why is the quote significant/important? 4. Connect - How does the quote connect to your life? What impact does it have on you? Do you have any stories to share? - What does it mean in your life? If the quote doesn’t mean anything to you, then choose a different quote. Your Name The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini EXAMPLE 1. “I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975” (Hosseini 1). 2. 3. 4. The passage is from the opening sentence of the book. The narrator, who is also the main character Amir, tells his reader how he became the person he is today. The narrator says that in the winter of 1975, when he was 12, he had an experience on a freezing cloudy day that impacted his life forever. The author, Hosseini includes this passage in an effort to capture the audience’s immediate attention. The passage is significant because it hooks the reader’s interest around the main character Amir. The passage makes me want to review the turning points in my own life and consider how I might be someone different if my fate had shifted or if I made different decisions.
