CLASS OF 2015
Summer Assignments
10th Grade LHS PIBS
Revised May 2012
Spanish:
This summer assignment has two parts. The first part is to review all the vocabulary learned in Spanish 1.
There will be a vocabulary test during the first week of class in August. THERE IS NO REASON ANY
STUDENT should get less than a B on this test. If you do get less than a B, that is a result of a lack of
studying on your part. STUDY every day over the summer—DO NOT WAIT until the night before.
The second part is to make weekly contact with the Spanish language via television, newspapers, music,
etc. Log what and when contacts were made: date, time spent on source, and one-sentence summary.
Students should attempt to listen to Spanish speakers on T.V., radio, etc. The more that you hear, the
better prepared you will be for future IB oral assessments.
Your assignment is to be turned in by the first class of the new school year. The first part of the
assignment will be a regular test grade; the second part will be a homework grade.
AP European
History:
Students will need to spend at least 10 minutes looking up information on at least 20 different topics
from the “Topics to Review” (that only amounts to 3 plus hours). Students will then need to fill out the
following information: the date you did the research, the website address, and a short 2-sentence
explanation of what you found interesting. The topics for research are on the back of this sheet.
This assignment counts as a regular homework grade. The topics to review sheet is below this
assignment (on the second page).
Pre IB Art:
Reading/Work for Pre IB Art is not mandatory this year. We do suggest that you read one or two
of the following books.
My Name is Asher Lev
by Chaim Potok
Chaim Potok wrote a truly powerful story in which a person is torn between two worlds. A rare view into the world of a small
Jewish sect, the reader senses the world of alienation and loneliness that comes to someone born into this society but living amongst
the "goyim" that surrounds him. The author also makes the reader question whether it is better to be true to oneself, or to deny
oneself the destiny that a higher being may have intended.
Keys to Drawing With Imagination, Strategies and Exercises for Gaining Confidence and Enhancing Your Creativity
(Spiral-bound) by Bert Dodson
Getting the terminally self-conscious to believe in themselves as artists is no mean achievement.
Most books on how to draw just reinforce this anxiety. By not focusing on the "what" but the "how" this book lets you not only
think like an artist, but become one.
