Summer Reading
As you make plans to acquire books listed below, please consider assisting the PTSA's dedicated efforts to support TJ's many programs by purchasing books through the PTSA's Amazon.com program.
Various TJHSST courses, including upper level courses, require summer reading and assignments that must be completed prior to classes beginning in September. The information below is provided as a guide, but may not be comprehensive. Please contact your instructor with any questions.
TJHSST School-Wide Summer Reading
TJHSST is entering its seventh year of the One Book program, in which the entire school community reads the same book during the summer.
One Book for One Question
The One Book selection for 2009 summer reading is Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. This non-fiction work lends itself well to the 2009-2010 One Question, "What are the social responsibilities of educated people?". All students and faculty will read Three Cups of Tea during the summer, and will have the opportunity to react to it through class discussions and activities when the school year begins. It is not necessary to write about the book before returning to school. Three Cups of Tea is easily available through public libraries, bookstores and online purchasing.
Help support TJ by purchasing this book through the PTSA's Amazon.com program.
