Summer Reading at Keefe Tech!
- All students enrolled in a Keefe Tech English class are expected to read at least one book from the list below or any other high school level book. However, we encourage you to read multiple books throughout the summer.
- All students will be expected to write about your summer reading upon the opening of school in the fall, whether we open in person or do remote learning.
- The purpose of writing about your book is to provide a writing sample for your English teacher and to determine how you are able to compose your thoughts about a book you have read. Your writing will not be part of a term 1 grade.
