Incoming Grade 8 Summer Reading
Leadership
Introduction to Leadership
The summer reading theme for students entering eighth grade is leadership. Some people seem to be born leaders, but the rest of us can develop into leaders, and that is one of the goals your teachers this year have for you. Since you’re now the oldest students in the school, eighth grade is the perfect opportunity to either improve your leadership skills or to develop some leadership skills.
Read Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
