English IV will focus on novels, poetry, memoirs, and short stories. One of the primary themes for your senior year will be the nature of

humanityare we inherently good? Inherently evil? How do the situations in our lives alter our nature?

As we work our way through Senior English, we will look at some British literature, particularly that of

the Romantic Era. We wi-

literature that offers people of non-British, non-European background to tell their own story, rather than

being forced to let outsiders interpret their cultures for them. To this end, we will begin with the one required book for this summer: Heart of Darkness by Josef

Conrad. Though this novel is short, some people think this is a tough book to read, so give yourself time.

This is not something you want to pick up for the first time, two days before we return to school in

Augustthe horror, the horror. As the course progresses, we will follow up this novel with others that

Things Fall Apart), or pieces

novel (The Piano Tuner.)

Your summer reading assignment is to read two books. The second is a book of your choice from the list

attached. If you have trouble picking a book, ask your parents and friends for suggestions, or research

some of the titles that intrigue you.

At the beginning of fall semester, you will be required to write in-class essays on the two books you read.

Please also bring your copy of Heart of Darkness to class in August, as we will spend time discussing the

book at the beginning of the school year.

Getting copies of your books:

I will hand out Heart of Darkness at the end of your junior year. The books on the summer reading list are

available at bookstores and libraries.

If you like to read in digital format: many of the books on the list are in the public domain and can be

found online. Project Gutenberg is a good place to start.

As you read, you are STRONGLY encouraged to take notes on the books you read, especially if you read

it at the beginning of the summer. Take your notes on a piece of notebook paper or on sticky notes that

you put in your book. Make a record of questions you have, as well as conflicts, characterization, themes,

and figurative language (symbolism, metaphor, imagery, etc.). Review

come back to school, as we will start out right away with assignments related to the summer reading.

Have a fantastic summer, and enjoy your readings!
