<p>I’ll be a junior next year and for summer reading I have 8 books. I’ve never had this many books before (its usually like 4 or 5 books). What’s the best way to get through summer reading? Should I have a journal where I write character traits and literaty devices? Is there a special way I should annotate? Should I read one book at a time or all 8 at the same?</p>
<p>These assignments are the type that should’ve been started on the first day of summer lol. From personal experience, read the books one at time and have a reading schedule. But hey, if you want to read the books all at once, by all means go ahead. For annotating, do what the assignment tells you too. If there wasn’t specific directions for the reading assignments I would give facts/traits about the characters, interesting things about the book, and overall summary. Because you have eight books, I wouldn’t summarize all the chapters because that will take for ever. Just do enough so that it’ll satisfy the assignment.</p>
<p>Read one at a time. Start with the most interesting so you can make progress quickly. You now have a time crunch. :)</p>
<p>Also, take breaks, it keeps the reading from getting stale.</p>

<p>Do they have written assignments associated with them, or do you just have to read?</p>
<p>I sort of disagree with OP. Start with the longest and/or most boring book, force yourself to finish in less then a week. Keep doing this until you have reached books that you enjoy/will read in a day or two…</p>
<p>haha this is bad advice but I read everything in August, so the information will be fresh in my head</p>
