Genesis Summer Assignments

Dear Genesis Students,

This summer, you will be asked to read books from the lists below. While reading, you should keep track of important information from the books.

For the required book, all students (grades 6-8) must complete a “One-Pager.” This will help prepare you for an in-class essay in September. Please see the information and sample here for more details.
For incoming 6th graders only, the second book is a student's choice book. Please review these options with your parents/guardians and use websites like www.commonsensemedia.org to evaluate the books before you make your selection. Students should take notes while reading as they will be required to write an in-class essay on the book during the first full week of classes.

If you have any questions, please email me at kmorris@xaverian.org.

Enjoy your summer!

Ms. Kathleen Morris
English Department Chairperson
