American Horizons Summer Packet
A 6-page, comprehensive, print-ready summer reading guide designed for incoming 11th-grade students. It introduces four thematic readings about American Journeys (Young Goodman Brown, Self-Reliance, Travels with Charley, and Song of the Open Road), provides a historical overview of Romanticism and Transcendentalism, establishes a vocabulary of advanced literary devices, and includes an active reading log with writing lines and a Tier-2 vocabulary builder. This version replaces 'exhilaration' with 'consistency', removes upcoming unit novel references from the Page 3 Analytical Toolkit, defines 'Part of Speech' in the vocab vault, integrates prior readings (Things Fall Apart and Turtles All the Way Down) into device applications, and updates headers to reflect a standard 11th-grade ELA course rather than AP or Honors.
