7th Grade Summer Reading Due Monday August 17, 2020
Welcome to 7th Grade Language Arts! Though the year hasn’t quite started yet, I am excited about what we
will be learning together. The goal of this required summer reading project is to keep the Language Arts skills
you learned in 6th Grade fresh, flex those reading muscles, and help me (Mrs. Heeren) see all that you are
capable of.
In 7th grade, you will be expected to be accountable for your own work, troubleshoot problems that you come
across, and think critically to find solutions. Please read these instructions carefully at least twice. I am here to
help you, but there are few things worse in life than asking a question that has already been clearly
answered!
If you do have a question or need help, I encourage you (you! The student!) to email me at [email protected].
I want to hear from you, the student, first. Please allow 2-3 days for a response over the summer.
The Novel (Pick One): Nine Days by Fred Hiatt OR Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee
•A physical or digital copy may be purchased or checked out from the library. While the format
doesn’t matter, students must be able to cite the page number their evidence and details come
from.
The Task: Complete Part A: Tissue Box Character Analysis (Pages 4-6), and Part B: Theme Analytical Paragraph
(Page 7). May be handwritten neatly and legibly or typed and printed.
Grading: All tasks in Mrs. Heeren’s class are graded on a 10-point scale. Daily journals, notes, worksheets,
online practice, homework, etc. are Assignment grades and are worth 20% of the overall grade. Projects, tests,
essays, One Pager reports, and other written assignments are Assessment grades and are worth 80% of the
overall grade. This means that Assessments have a larger impact on the overall grade. The Summer Reading
Project will be graded as an Assessment.
Score: For Teacher Use Only!

  • Evidence should be cited with the page number where indicated in the directions. Citations can be done in-sentence or parenthetically. Evidence may be paraphrased (put in your own words) or given in a direct quote. Pick one style of citations and stick with it. Use the models below: o In-text citation, paraphrased evidence: On page 26, Ti-Anna reveals that her father has disappeared after a dangerous trip to Hong Kong to meet with other activists fighting for democracy in China. o In-text citation, direct quote: On page 26, Ti-Anna reveals that her father, believing that “China is just a spark away from a democratic revolution”, has disappeared in Hong Kong. o Parenthetical citation, paraphrased evidence: Refusing to believe the accusations against her brother, Min comes up with a plan to transform herself into a table and listen in on their conversation (1 3 ). o Parenthetical citation, direct quote: Although her mother forbids her from using her Charm around strangers, Min is “dying to know what else the investigator had to say” (13) and makes up her mind to transform into a table.

Part A – Tissue Box Character Analysis

Directions: Using a tissue box*, analyze one of the main characters of the novel you picked. A “Main character” does not have to be the character narrating, but should be a character who is present through most of the novel. Use the sides of the box to explain how they are influenced by a setting, an interaction with/the actions of a character, or the events of the plot (See model pictures on page 5 – template provided on page 6 ) Side 1: Character Description  Name of character  Image of character – may be drawn, or a picture you think resembles them  Symbol/image that represents them  Brief description of character’s personality Side 2: Impact of Setting  Brief description of the setting (bullets or sentences)  2+ sentence analysis of how the setting impacts the character’s mood, actions, behavior, etc.  1+ cited piece of evidence supporting analysis with explanation of how that evidence relates to the impact the setting has on the character (may be part of the analysis) Side 3: Impact of Another Character  Brief description of that character (bullets or sentences)  2+ sentence analysis of how the other character impacts the mood, actions, behavior, etc. of the character being analyzed.  1+ cited piece of evidence supporting analysis with explanation of how that direct quote relates to the impact the other character the character being analyzed (may be part of the analysis) Side 4: Impact of Plot Event  Brief description of the plot (bullets or sentences)  2+ sentence analysis of how the event in the plot impacts the character’s mood, actions, behavior, etc.  1+ cited piece of evidence supporting analysis with explanation of how that evidence relates to the impact the plot has on the character (may be part of the analysis)

Model Character Analysis Tissue Boxes

  • There is no penalty if student is unable to provide tissue box, or if only an empty tissue box is available. While getting tissues to last us through the year is nice, the analysis is the most important part. The completed four-square analysis on page 6 is all that is needed to receive a grade.

Part B – Theme Analytical Paragraph

Pick one of the following themes. Using that theme, write a thorough paragraph (6-8+ sentences) in which you explain the importance of the theme to the novel, as well as how the author develops (reveals) the theme throughout the novel.

Use specific examples and elaborate with your own thoughts. Cite at least 2 pieces of textual evidence to support your

answer. Theme 1: It is worth risking everything to help the ones you love Theme 2: We can accomplish more with help from others than we can alone Theme 3: Even when things seem impossible, perseverance and creative thinking will get you through Tips: ✓ State the title of the novel and the author’s name in the first 1-3 sentences

✓ Be sure to use and cite textual evidence (see guide on page 1)

✓ Write neatly. Use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. ✓ Double-check that each part is completed to satisfaction. Use the grading rubric as a guide.
