Summer Reading

Seniors look at the structure of society. This is a continuation of the democratic principles they begin to explore junior year, with implications for the future. As students venture out into the world, what will their impact be? What will their future society look like?

Based on the theme above, you will be choosing a book for your summer reading that you find interesting and is within your reading level.  You will NOT be able to pick a book without getting it approved first, but you CAN pick something outside of the recommended list - as long as it fits the theme.  The following list is a few suggestions that I have that you might find interesting.

Government and Politics
