Dear Parents,
Please do not edit, correct, or change your child's
summer work before it is turned in to me.
I believe that it is important for your child's growth and helps him or
her take responsibility for the work.
Thank you for your cooperation.
This summer project is due on
the first day of school. A homework
warning will be issued for any project not turned in on the first day of school
and ten points will be deducted for each day it is late. After the third day, the project will not be
accepted and a zero will be recorded for the grade. The summer work counts as a homework and a
test grade. Projects may be typed or written on loose leaf.
Choose either a biography or an autobiography
to read. A biography is the story of a person's life
written by another person. An
autobiography is when a person tells his or her own life story. Each book must be between 125 and 150 pages
long and may not be a young child's book.
Parents must approve the book before it is read. Write a report for the
book you choose. The report should be at
least five paragraphs long. You should include the following in your report:
-Title and author of the book
-Background information on
the person's life
-Important accomplishments
-Things the person had to
overcome to achieve his or her goals
-People who had an impact on
the person's life and what the impact was
-What you learned about life
from studying this person and how you can apply it to your own life
