Grade 12 Summer Reading Program: 2018 Philosophy And .
Grade 12 Summer Reading Program:2018 Philosophy and RequirementsWoodward Academy English DepartmentWoodward Academy’s English Department believes that the Summer Reading Assignment is a valuable pursuit forthe student for several reasons. Colleges expect students to have read widely in the classics of literature, and all highschool teachers believe that students need to exercise their independent reading skills over the summer months. Inaddition, familiarity with specific pieces of literature allows the student to start the school year with a literaryfoundation on which to reflect and compose. Basing their choices on college English department lists of bookswhich well-prepared students should have read and on the curriculum which the student will study during the year,teachers at every grade level select books that should prove interesting and valuable. For these reasons, risingfreshmen read mythology and works with a tragic theme or heroic archetype. Rising sophomores read old or newclassics of American Literature. Rising juniors read works by British authors. Seniors select from world authors.This year, students will also select a book and meet in small groups for a discussion on Thursday, August 16th. Ledby a teacher or staff member in collaboration with a student volunteer from the senior class, the groups will becomposed of students in grades 10-12. Students will select their book for the discussion group beginning in April of2018. Information will be on their English teacher’s Power School Learning page. Students may be asked or allowedto write on this book during the first eight weeks of school. New to Woodward students are not required to reada book of choice, only the required books.Teachers approved student placement in April of 2018 for the appropriate level of English study (CP, EP,HP, or AP), and students should read the books assigned to that level. New students will find out their levelswhen they meet in June with a member of the Upper School staff. During the first eight weeks of school, eachEnglish teacher will assign papers based on the works, give an objective test over the required books, and makeother assignments as necessary. At least three evaluations of the works will occur, including objective, subjective,and creative assessments which will constitute a major portion of the first 8 week grade.Students enrolled in the Upper School by August 1, 2018, must complete all the assigned books by the start ofschool, August 13, 2018. New students enrolled in the Upper School after August 1, 2018, should begin therequired books at their level immediately upon acceptance and then consult with their English teachers on the firstday of class. All evaluations of summer reading will be completed by October 5, 2018, which is the end of term 1.The English Department requires new and returning students to complete the assignment over the summer in ordernot to double the homework load in English during the first grading period.Following are a list of key questions to ask yourself as you read a novel, work of nonfiction, or play. You can aidyour long-term retention of these works by taking notes which answer each of the following questions. Include apage reference as often as possible. This effort will help as you review for your tests and projects in the fall.1.Identify the narrative hook, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. If the novel is structuredmore loosely, what does each episode add to the story, and how does each build on the preceding ones?2. What types of conflict are present?3. Who are the main characters?4. Are these characters round or flat, static, or dynamic?5. Why do you sympathize or not sympathize with each character?6. What is the effect of the point of view that the author uses: first person, limited third person, or omniscient?Does the point of view ever change?7. What tone does the author express through the work’s events and characters?8. What objects, persons, places, or events are given symbolic meaning? What do they symbolize? Does themeaning of any symbol change?9. If the work uses irony, what is its effect and why is it used?10. Identify the novel’s major theme or themes.11. How do the plot, setting, point of view, symbols, and irony express the novel’s theme or themes?

2018-19 Senior Summer ReadingIn Cold Blood by Capote (Required for AP Lit) (Questions by LitLovers)1. Start with the victims. What kind of family is the Clutter household? In what way does Capote createsympathy for them? Do you feel they represented the American Dream?2. How does Capote, as a writer, handle the actual murder of the Clutter family. Or is it too gruesome, tooheartbreaking to discuss?3. Discuss the killers, Perry Smith and Richard Hickock. What kind of men were they? What were theirmotives in committing murder? Talk about their backgrounds and psychological make-ups? Think, forinstance, about Perry Smith's chilling comment: "I thought he was a very nice gentleman. I thought soright up to the moment I cut this throat."4. In many ways, In Cold Blood is about the murderers. Do you feel they deserve such attention? Do youthink that Capote pulls off the near impossible—does he build sympathy, in your mind, for the killers?Does he endow them—Perry Smith, in particular—with any kind of humanity? Or does he depict them assavage animals, devoid of human redemption?5. What was the impact of the murders on the Holcomb community? How did it alter the residents'perceptions of the natural order of things, of life?6. With this book, Truman has been credited with developing a new genre of writing: "literary nonfiction."

Suggestion: Watch the 2005 film, Capote, with Philip Seymour Hoffman in the role of Truman Capote.Does the film affect your view of Capote and his motives in writing his book?The Turn of the Screw by James (Required for AP Lit) (Questions by LitLovers)1. In The Turn of the Screw, the misbehavior of the children, Miles and Flora, as the story progressesmakes us suspect that they are not as innocent as they seem. And yet the source of their misbehavior isleft ambiguous: Is it natural mischievousness or has it been instigated by an evil, corrupting force in theform of the ghosts of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel? Trace through the story the changes in the way thegoverness views the children and their misbehaviors. How does the uncertainty about the children, andtheir possible awareness of the ghosts, intensify the governess's predicament?2. In the beginning chapters of the story, the governess recounts several unsettling events: The children'suncle insists that he not be bothered with anything relating to the children's care; we learn of the death ofthe governess's predecessor, Miss Jessel; and we learn that sweet and charming Miles has been expelledfrom school. These are just some of the forebodings that set the stage for the supernatural events that soonfollow, and so when the governess first relates the appearance of a ghost it doesn't seem entirelyunexpected. To what degree is the governess a force of sense and reason in these unsettling surroundings,and to what degree does she become a destabilizing force herself as the story progresses? How does ouranswer to this question affect our understanding of the story's ending?3. Any interpretation of The Turn of the Screw hinges on the question, debated vociferously by critics, ofwhether the ghosts of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel are real or whether they are figments of the governess'simagination.* What are the implications of the governess's imagining them? If we read this not as anactual ghost story but as a story about the governess's perceptions of ghosts, what sort of psychologicalunderpinnings are suggested? Could it be in these dimensions that the real horror of the story may lie?9

As narrator, Jack mentions the notion of time frequently. Consider the meaning of "time" how itrelates to both the plot and the symbolic language of the novel. How is time used to express Jack'sfeelings and to influence the narrative?5. As governor, Willie Stark runs his administration ferociously, using dirty tricks, blackmail, andsometimes bribery to keep his opponents in line. Are such tactics always necessary in politics,sometimes necessary in bad circumstances, or never necessary or justified? Consider today'spolitical situation for comparison. Similar topics might include the use of media, oratory, graft,handouts, and digging up dirt.6. The three leading women--Anne Stanton, Sadie Burke, and Lucy Stark--are all involvedromantically with Willie Stark.
