| Lawrence School believes in summer reading as a means to foster life-long learning, reinforce academic achievement and promote reading as enjoyable. The Summer Reading Program assignments reflect Lawrence’s belief in student-choice, higher-order thinking, differentiated instruction, and authentic assessment.
Each year, faculty selects a theme for the Summer Reading project. This year’s theme is Philanthropy: Generosity, Selflessness, Compassion. Students select a book to read (or listen to via audio books) from the provided list and then complete an assignment of their choosing. The list of possible assignments contain both traditional and non-traditional choices. Students can demonstrate what they have learned through writing, fine art, film, music, diagrams and a number of other mediums. The key is for each student to select an assignment that best reflects their unique learning style, and then demonstrate what they have learned.
