Summer Homework

SUMMER HOMEWORK
For your summer homework, you have two specific tasks to complete:
1.      Please complete the grammar assignments in Go for Grammar by reading each page assigned and completing each exercise found in the packet.
a.      Study Units: 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 26, 27, 28.
b.      Complete Units: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 64, 65, 66, 79, 87, as well as pages: 287, 297, and 320.

2.      You must buy the following book, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith (in English!) and read it. (It’s a beautiful book set in Brooklyn at the turn of the century and it was one of my favorites when I was your age.  I hope you like it!)  You can find the book on Amazon. As you read this book you must:

a.      Write a personal journal entry after every chapter.  This means that you must write your thoughts and opinions of the book.  Please write at least one paragraph.
b.      When you finish the book, write a final summary of your thoughts and opinions in at least one paragraph.
c.       Please keep a vocabulary log of the words you don’t understand in a small, separate notebook.  You may simply translate the words in Italian.

HAVE A LOVELY SUMMER!
