Whatchu been reading?

I hope that you have had a wonderful summer break so far.  I have spent the last month camping, going to concerts, hanging out with friends and family, and of course - reading!  I'm excited to hear about what you've been doing and what you've been reading this summer. And I'm looking for a few book recommendations.  I'm nearly finished with The Hate U Give and looking for my next book to read.  If you've read any great books this summer, let us know by posting a link HERE or by sharing recommendations on social media using #IoniaReads. 

Don't forget that as an honors English student, you have at least two books to read this summer. The first is a book of your choice, and the second book must be one from our required reading list (see below). I would highly recommend checking out your local library's website. If you have a library card, you can easily check out books digitally to read on your e-reader or phone. You'll want to come to class the first week with your summer reading summaries completed.
  • 1984 by Orwell
  • Antigone by Sophocles
  • Don Quixote by Cervantes    
  • Frankenstein by Shelley
  • Life of Pi by Martel
  • Man in the Iron Mask by Dumas
  • The Things They Carried by O’Brien

I'm looking forward to meeting you in a little over a month. In the meantime, enjoy your summer and happy reading!

    Ms. Jen Ward

    An interest in helping young people discover and define their writing voice and reading interests drives Ms. Jennifer Ward to cultivate a student-centered learning environment, one that supports individual learning goals and incorporates purposeful use of technology. In March 2017, Ms. Ward was named teacher of the month by Michigan's 86th district state representative, Thomas Albert.  In March 2016, she was named a TED-Ed Innovative Educator and is also a Google Certified Innovator, National Writing Project Consultant, and a 2014 PASCD Emerging Leader.  Ms. Ward taught for 13 years in a Philadelphia suburban district and returned to her home state in 2015. ​ In 2017, she joined the Grandville High School bulldogs!

    ​And when not in front of a class or a computer, Jen is either in front of her sewing machine or has a glue gun in hand, ready to craft whatever her two little boys can imagine. You'll also find her blogging over at jenniferward.org.
