The OPRFHS English department in its mission to ensure that all ninth graders participate in a shared summer reading experience, requires that each Freshman student read Sherman Alexie's **//The Absolute True// //Diary of a Part-Time Indian.//** Please help us by ensuring that your child(ren) completes this first assignment. Work with your child to develop a reading schedule, and if possible, read the selection along with your child(ren) and discuss the reading.

Additionally, **students will be expected to hand in an annotatd text to their Freshman English teacher during the first week of the Fall 2011 school year. This will be one of the first grades Freshman students will recieve for the course.**

Below you will find a printable PDF packet with annotation instructions and reading activitites that each Freshman __**must**__ complete throughout the reading.
