Summer+Assignment

I'm sure you took your summer reading assignment paper home and posted it on your refrigerator or bulletin board, but just in case...

Dear Seventh Grade Students and Parents:

Let me begin by welcoming you to your seventh grade year! I am so looking forward to welcoming you back in the fall as your homeroom teacher. I know we’ll have a wonderful year together.

I hope you enjoy your summer vacation: get some rest, have plenty of fun, and, of course, read, read, read! To help you get started, I ask that you read at least two of the books from the summer reading list included with this letter. Please choose two books that you have **__not__** previously read. For each book you read you will use a **5"x 8" index card** to record your responses. You will draw a **picture of a scene** from the book on the blank side of the card. It must show something important that happened in the story. The picture should be colored with colored pencils. It should be neat and show effort. **Write a “Why I chose this picture” statement under the picture.**

The **lined side of the card** will contain the following information: Information must be written in complete sentences. Only include important details. **It all must fit on the card--no extra paper**. Once you have read two books and completed both index cards, you will need to __actually mail them to school__! Please have your index cards in the mail to me no later than __August 21, 2010__. This will be your first assignment for the 2010-2011 school year! Send it to:
 * ** Line 1 ** : (top line of card) Your Name Date
 * ** Line 2 ** : Book Title Author
 * ** List ** of **3 characters with a brief description** of each.
 * ** Description of ** **setting**: **place** described in detail, **time period** included.
 * ** Summary of the story **
