District 206 Announces Summer Reading Assignment for Juniors

Students in the Class of 2015 in Bloom High School District 206 might be on summer vacation, but that doesn’t mean the education process is on hiatus. During the course of the summer, students at both Bloom and Bloom Trail high schools who are entering a junior level English class, are required to read one book and complete a creative project to complete the assignment.

Students entering a Humanities I Honors class must read two books, while also completing a series of questions on each book, an essay and on creative project on either book as well.

The summer reading assignment counts for one test grade in the student’s class and must be completed.

A complete listing of books, along with the creativity assignment outlines, for Bloom High School can be found, here.

For Bloom Trail High School juniors, there is no book list, as students are able to choose their own book. The book must be 200 pages in length, can be fiction or non-fiction, but cannot be sexual or erotic in nature, and cannot be currently taught at Bloom Trail.

Both Bloom and Bloom Trail juniors must be ready to present their books and creative projects on August 19.

Humanities I Honors students must read two books, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie and “The Devil in the White City” by Erik Larson. Once students finish both books, they must complete a series of questions, along with an essay and a creative project, as well.

Any questions about the Class of 2015 summer reading project can be directed to the students teacher at their respective school.
