PART II: Reading and Character Analysis
Directions: You must read at least two books over the summer. One of the books must be a work of
historical fiction and the other must be a text related to social justice. For suggestions, see the booklist
below. You will complete the “Character Analysis” worksheet from the social justice text after reading.
*Please have your texts and worksheet completed and readily available on the first day of school.
● Most of these are works of historical fiction where the events occur sometime between the years of
exploration (approximately 1492) and the end of the Civil War (1865). These take place in North or
South America or Europe.
● As you read your historical fiction book, you should focus on tracking the characterization and
development of one character (either the main character or an important character that you have a lot
of information about -- even the antagonist).
● When choosing a historical fiction novel, be sure it meets the requirements of our time period -- 1492
through 1865 (the end of the Civil War). If you are unsure as to whether or not a book is appropriate,
choose one from the list below.
● Please do not come in September having spent time and effort reading and recording information on a
book that will not be acceptable.
● *Please do not read Chains (by Laurie Halse Anderson) or Twelve Angry Men (by Reginald Rose) as
these are our class texts.Character Analysis Worksheet
