Wheaton Academy Summer Reading

In an effort to expose students to a wider variety of scholarly materials and to prepare them for college, the English Department has developed a summer reading project for students pursuing courses in the Honors curriculum.  Students enrolled in Sophomore Honors English will read 1984 by George Orwell, and students enrolled in Junior Honors English will read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Students enrolled in Senior Honors English and AP English must read ONE of the books from the following list:   Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte;  Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton; Brave New World by Aldous Huxley;  For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway; Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. AP English students will read a second book (TBD) for the start of second semester. NOTE:  Students in regular English classes have no summer reading assignment.  Incoming freshmen, both in regular and Honors English classes have no summer reading assignment.
