Summer Reading 2020

Once again Mepham kicks off its summer reading program. Students can select any book they like. We just ask that they keep two things in mind:

• Please select a book that is appropriate for high school. You should not have read this book before, either in class or independently. You can choose fiction or nonfiction novels, graphic novels, or plays. Essay and short story collections/compilations are OK.
  
• Please complete the book prior to the first day of school in September. Your English teacher(s) will ask you to write a reflection on your summer reading selection in the beginning of the school year.

More information, handouts, and book suggestions can be found here. Also, remember to check out the Mepham High School Library eBooks and audiobook page for free resources. 

Why should you read...

You all know what a big fan I am of TED-Ed. Well, they started producing a series of video lessons titled Why Should You Read... And it's perfect for high school students. Check out the one below on Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
