Friday Weekly Writing TasksDear Lindley Middle School Student, Based on your personal interests and preferences, Lindley Middle School encourages the LMS student to select books, articles, and other texts to read independently. Summer Reading not only reinforces the leamiing you've done in class, but it also gives you a chance to expand your knowledge about topics that fascinate you. Your teachers have complied great suggestions to read over the summer. The titles listed complement the reading you will do in your classes next year. These are suggestions to get you started, but you may also choose other readings with input from your teacher, family, and peers. 7" and 8 grade suggested reading titles are located on the back. While you work your way through each ELA unit next school year, your teacher will give you time to read independently. You should annotate (record general thoughts or reactions to your independent reading) directly in your book or in a handy notebook specifically for your readings. Practice annotating as you read now, here is an example of text annotations: pill 7 ‘The Rose That Grew From Concrete 35 oF a by: Tupac Shakur=The copper? are id you ear about th fe hard do ofecked oy Proving nature's law s wong it oq) evdd) “eared wlealk sth autharing TES rsatitaloo a Re, Funny seems, but by keeping its dreamiays, 3% = itleamed Long live the rose that grew from cOnTEIEN, y) when no one else ever cared, eget a7 : We o + fy Ide of Yes fs Mak a petton Mabe Lan Tre Tile Te soiades ete Sal case thar mate goal. Theme? The summer ELA activities go hand-in-hand with your summer reading. The tasks will count as your first 100 for the coming school year. These tasks will prompt you to think about your independent reading by responding to questions and making connections between texts and themes. You will even get a chance to recommend your book to others! We hope you enjoy exploring the texts, topics, and themes over the summer, and that you feel inspired to deepen your reading, writing, speaking, and analytic skills ‘throughout the coming school year,7 Grade Suggestions for Summer Reading Unit: The Choices We Make Author Title Lexile Hidier, Tanuja | Born Confused 890 Desai Hijuelos, Oscar Dark Dude 980 Lewis, C.S.
