Okay, so a lot of us have to read books over summer for school next year. I thought I'd make a thread where we could post what books we have to read over summer, and see if anyone else has to read the same one. If not, there might be someone who's already read the book who can give you some answers. So, yeah, just post what book you have to read or what books you can help other people with.

Books:

Huckleberry Finn
Who has to read it- Voldy and Holly
Who's already read it-

Grapes of Wrath
Who has to read it- Holly
Who's already read it-

I don't get summer assignments, and I don't understand how they'd work xD But maybe if I have the free time I'll get an ebook version and read it just to fit in with this club :D

Huckleberry Finn
Who has to read it- Voldy and Holly
Who's willing to help- Holly and Voldy?

I can help you if you help me xD

Grapes of Wrath also :P

xD kk Holly, we can start like a book club like "read chapter 3 by next tuesday"

I'll add Grapes of Wrath to the book list too.

I read Huckleberry Finn, but that was a long time ago so...

Haha okay, I'm not getting my book until next Tuesday lol

Kk xD I still have the book, my sister bought it last year

I'm surprised I don't have to do more, I mean this is high school

I had to read 3 books last summer for high school English, granted it was pre-ap, but still. I have to read 3 books again this summer too :P

That sucks : P I just have to read the one book

I have to read a 1256 page history book called "A history of the modern world". Fun

Um yeah no one's gonna read that with you

My 3rd book is The Other Wes Moore: One name, Two faces

I just found the Secret Garden on Netflix for those of you who have to read it, once you finish it reward yourself with the movie, it's a good recap!

I finished reading the grapes of wrath. I found Huck Finn in audio book format on YouTube. I'm flying through reading that one now, Voldy that might help you also. After this book I have 1 more paper and 1 more book to read.

I don't understand having assignments during the summer. Who do you hand it into when you return and how can it get graded if you have a different teacher? :s

The 10th grade English teachers create 1 assignment for the students and print and pass it to the 9th grade English teachers. The 9th grade teachers hand them to the students and on my first day of school we get our schedules (I hate that, in middle school we got our schedules at registration and got to find out who we had classes with.) And we turn it in to our teachers on the first day of 10th grade

Oh, that sounds so bothersome xP It sucks you guys have to have homework to do during the summer.

It is. It's pointless.

For me we had to go to our teachers for next year and pink up the assignments, then we turn them in online
I have one due Friday that I haven't even started

On the first day of school we have to upload our papers to the computer to check for plagiarism because that don't trust us at all...

The turnitin side we use has a plagiarism check on it
I think it's stupid... what if you happen to word a sentence similar to another book or something? Then you get points taken against you
Once I wrote a sentence and on our plagiarism checker it came out as plagiarized :P I don't think my teacher cared though since it was pretty generic

 let say for ex;

"The dude" Ch.1  He was a cool kid.

You wrote for "Alone and Away", He was a cool kid. Skittish but cool.

Yeah seems pretty tupid
//sorry for the random stuff.
