Summer Assignments 2024
All Juniors, regardless of when they registered at O’Hara, have the following summer assignments:
Chesterton Scholar Program- Literature & Theology III: You are required to purchase, read, and annotate The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. ISBN #978-0060652937. This counts as summer reading for both Literature & Theology. Remember, annotation means that in addition to highlighting, you include a brief two-to-three word summary for every chapter, circle and look up hard vocabulary, and record your reaction to the text in the margins. This book will be turned in to your literature teacher on the first day of school. The first week of class will be spent discussing this book and an assessment will be given by your teachers. The version you buy is not important - buy whichever one you like best.
NOTE: ONLY CSP THEOLOGY CLASSES HAVE A SUMMER ASSIGNMENT!!
