    Midway 8th Honors

    Summer Reading
    2023 - 2024 Class Book and
    Choice Book Reading List

    Hey There!!
    We hope you are ready to dive into some excellent
    summer reading. Honors English 8 students that
    enroll at Midway Middle School and River Valley
    Middle School have the same reading assignment.

    You will read TWO books this summer - an ALL-


    read and one Student Choice from a reading
    list.
    The readings will each come with a short
    assignment which will be due on Monday,
    August 28th. Both assignments are due on that
    day.

    Book 1 of 2 Honors English 8's


    All Read Title - J. R. R. Tolkien's
    Fellowship of the Ring
    We will all read the Jrst book in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord
    of the Rings trilogy. The Fellowship of the Ring is the
    story of an ordinary person going to war. It is about
    the comrades who go with him and whom he meets
    along the way, the best friends he will ever know. It is
    a tragedy about the men who can't stand the strain of
    battle and break under its pressures. It is a warning
    about the damage that can be done by those who
    want to control and dominate other people. And it is
    a heartwarming tale about brothers in arms who
    willingly throw themselves into terrible danger to help
    each other out.

    ASSIGNMENT - As each of us reads The Fellowship


    of the Ring, we will track the hero's journey on a
    graphic organizer. Using the deJnitions on the Jrst
    page of the handout, write a short summary of this
    stage in the journey. As you write, be sure to use
    complete sentences, good grammar, and all of the
    conventions of good writing. The organizer can be
    found here.

    Book 2 of 2 Choose One from


    the List
    For your second book, each of us will choose ONE
    book from the following:

    Scythe (Neal Shusterman, 2016)


    Trevor Noah: Born a Crime YA (Trevor Noah,
    2016)
    All the Light We Cannot See (Anthony Doerr,
    2015)
    Unbroken YA (Laura Hillenbrand, 2017)
    The Life of Pi (Yann Martel, 2002)

    ASSIGNMENT - After you have completed the book,


    you will create a new handmade book jacket for the
    story. This new book jacket must be completely your
    design- not a copy of any past or current editions.
    The book jacket should include:

    an attractive illustrated cover,


    a summary,
    a short biography of the author,
    and a few reviews from readers (ask parents
    and friends to give you at least a 75-word
    review)

    We look forward to seeing you


    soon!
