Hi Tim,
I sent your email to the English Teachers and the History Teachers. If
my Friday and Saturday weren’t so packed already I’d love to come to both
of these!

Hi Brian,
We received a grant from the NEA for *The Things They Carried.* I've
attached a flyer with all our programming surrounding the book in West
County, including a Word for Word reading this Friday night and a
travelogue at the Pinole Library this Saturday. Do you mind sharing it with
your English dept.?
Thanks,
Tim

*Subject:* [baisl] Request: High School Summer Reading Lists
Hi BAISLers,
Our English Department is meeting at the end of the week to go over
suggestions for summer reading and the Department Chair asked me to ask
about the summer reading lists from other high schools. If you don’t mind
sharing will you post or send me a list of your high school summer reading
lists even if they are last year’s?
This was the Saint Mary’s summer reading list for the ’14-’15 academic
year:
All students read:
Radiance of Tomorrow by Ishmael Beah
Frosh:
On That Day Everybody Ate by Margaret Trost
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
Soph:
When Plague Strikes: The Black Death, Smallpox, AIDS by James Cross Giblin
Junior:
The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Seniors chose a book related to their Senior Project
And Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
