Summer Reading Program 2010/11

Incline High School All IHS students will read two books over the summer break. On Thursday/Friday,

September 9th

English class. Anticipate that your teacher will ask you to write something about the

two books you have read this summer (a characterization, reading log, a dialectical

journal, or an essay on themes). Take notes as you read.
