Summer Reading 2025-6 Humanities English 6 Ms. Kay ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________Welcome to summer! I’m delighted that you will be joining us in the fall at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School. The Humanities and Communication Program is a rigorous but engaging three-year course of study that focuses on human history, expression, culture, and thought. It is a program that is designed to help students understand how to analyze and solve complex challenges—a skill they will need more than ever in our rapidly changing world. To prepare for our first Grade 6 unit, Utopia, I have compiled a collection of utopian short stories to choose from, along with a capture sheet on which to record your observations about what you’ve read. All materials are available on our Google Classroom, but I have also included links on this document if you have any trouble joining the classroom. Step 1: Browse from a selection of short fiction and non-fiction documents. Pick one to read and use for this assignment. You can use this link to take you to a document with links to all of them: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZdBfgOCZDitZ5W5LSA9fsITtVg1NJ6bs/view?usp=sharing Step 2 Fill out the capture sheet for the story, article, or novel that you read. Make sure to answer every question, and don’t forget the paragraph! Step 3 Proofread your work! This is an important step in all your work, so please allow time to do this. Step 4: Turn in your work on Canvas by Friday, September 1, 2024. This will be worth 20 homework points. You do NOT have to turn it in on the Google Classroom--this is just a place to find your materials and to introduce yourself to future classmates! Step 5: Enjoy the rest of your summer!

2024-2025 Humanities 8 Summer Reading Challenge!
8th Grade Summer AssignmentsClick above link for access to the assignment
Congratulations Rising Humanities 8 students! Here is your Summer Exploratory Project, in which you will select a text about America any time between 1750 and 1850. This may be a work of historical fiction that is set during part of that period, or it can be a work of historical non-fiction, such as a narrative history, academic history or popular history. You may choose to read an autobiography or a biography for a prominent figure. The book should be appropriate for your age level and should be a bit challenging. You will then complete a Google Form in which you answer questions from your Humanities 8 teachers, Mr. Dempsey, Mr. Lehane, and Mr. Petroff.
