SUMMER ASSIGNMENTS 2023
Summer Reading 2023
Students are encouraged to participate in summer reading prior to the start of the 2023-2024 school year. Selected titles, listed below, are available digitally via Sora. All students have access to Sora; if you need help logging into your account, please review these log in instructions. Rockland Memorial Library will have these titles in print.
Students who participate are asked to read one of these titles, assume the role of their favorite character, and complete these Google Slides. Please make a copy of these slides to edit. The slides mimics a popular social media platform and should be edited to include the following components:
Character name
Username
Profile Quote taken from the book that reflects your character’s identity
Five (5) posts that your character would post that include:
Images reflecting an important scene in the book
Images reflecting your character’s personality
Hashtags explaining the images
Responses from other character to your characters posts
Students will use Canva to design their images and finish the assignment on the linked Google Slides. Completed assignments should be emailed to jkemp@rocklandschools.org by September 15th.
All students who complete the summer reading assignment are invited to participate in a Library Takeover! Students will be called down September 28th during Dog Block to participate in a book chat and see their Instagram posts on display! We will discuss and critique the titles.
