2019 Summer Reading Program Centreville Middle School Centreville Middle School Summer Reading Program*
Overview
The main goal of Centreville Middle School’s Summer Reading Program is to
encourage reading through the summer so students return in the fall prepared for a
new school year. We also have a creative component for students to take their
reading a step further.
Note: Students may choose Option 1 or Option 2 or do both options.
Option 1: Reading to Meet a Goal
Attached you will find a SUMMER READING GOAL SHEET. Students will
set a goal at the end of school (minimum of 3 books) and as they finish books
during the summer they will write the title on the same sheet. Students can read
anything they are intersted in.. Mrs. Sanger, CMS Media Assistant, has created
two lists (which are attached) to help with book choices.
*Sanger’s Sizzlin’ Summer Selections
*Top CMS Checkouts of the Year
Prizes: Students who return to school having at least met their goal or have read 3
books will be entered into a drawing for Fall CMS Scholastic Book Fair coupons
and will be invited to the CMS Ice Cream Social on September 17th.
Option 2: Creative Projects
On the back of the SUMMER READING GOAL SHEET is a list of projects for
those students who wish to show their creativity. Once students choose a project,
we encourage them to have fun creating something for other students to see. When
students return to school, they will be invited to the CMS Ice Cream Social on
September 17th where all projects will be shared and winners will be chosen by
their peers. First, second, and third place winners will receive Fall CMS
Scholastic Book Fair coupons.

Option 2: Creative Project Choices*
Sell It!Your job is to promote your novel so that others will be persuaded to read it. To do this you will
create a persuasive and eye-catching visual that would appear in a bookstore or on a website
(poster or technology*). It must include persuasive phrases, quotes, and pictures/graphics.
I’ve Been Framed
Create “framed” portraits of the main characters from your novel. In the background of each
portrait include important setting elements that relate to the character
Create a Comic
Turn an important scene or chapter into a comic book, complete with comic-style illustrations.
Must include a minimum of eight frames using dialogue bubbles, thinking bubbles, color, and
narrative.
Script It
Imagine YOU are the author of the book you have just read. Suddenly your book becomes a best
seller and Paramount pictures wants to make it into a movie. They ask you to create a movie
theatre poster or movie trailer* to promote your movie.
Picture Says a Thousand Words
Recreate the old cover and then create a new one for your book by hand-drawing a poster or
using technology*. Then, explain your reasoning for the new design.
Make sure to bring a copy of your book to display with your project.
*CMS LOVES TECHNOLOGY!
-Consider some of the following technology tools for your project: Prezi, Bitstrips, Animoto, Movie
Maker, Photostory, We Video, eBook, Powerpoint, Nearpod ……
-If you are using technology for your project you must make sure that you are able to show it on your
Chromebook.
-If you need or prefer to bring in a laptop, please speak with Ms. Muller first. We can store it in the safe
during the day, but CMS is not responsible for stolen or damaged personal laptops.
