Incline Village Schools

Advanced Placement Studio Art students have 4 summer assignments based on their choice of portfolio (Drawing, 2-D Design, or 3-D Design).

This summer assignment is based on Colonial America. The students investigate Colonial America via a Historical Database ABC-CLio, as well as through readings from Howard Zinn and Ronald Takaki, and analyzing primary sources. The students read, take notes, write essays, utilize graphic organizers, maps, etc... to formulate an in-depth familiarity with the Colonies. The summer assignment focuses around how the thirteen original colonies shaped the American Identity. There are multiple lessons (6 total).

All IHS students will read two books over the summer break.  On Thursday/Friday, September 10/11, 2009, teachers will design a form of accountability for each English class.   Anticipate that your teacher will ask you to write something about the two books you have read this summer (a characterization, reading log, a dialectical journal, or an essay on themes).  Take notes as you read.

Required Advanced Placement reading assignments are also included in this notice (*Indicates books for the college bound student).
