Recommended summer reading list.

Posted June 17, 2020 / Last updated August 19, 2020

To encourage the habit and joy of reading, the Jesuit High School English Department has compiled the following Suggestions for Summer Reading. In general, these are books that the English Department is normally not able to assign during the school year but, nonetheless, are worth reading.

These books are “suggested” reading; students’ summer reading will not be tested during the year. Although the list is divided according to grade levels, there is no need to adhere strictly to these divisions.

This guide will give you more information about this year's STUDENT SUMMER READING. 

How to Change Everything: The Young Human’s Guide to Protecting the Planet and Each Other   by Naomi Klein, adapted by Rebecca Stefoff .

This year's text was chosen in connection with the 2023 Social Justice Week theme of Climate Justice, and our Science department will take the lead on facilitating conversations about this text next fall. 

What's the book about?

How to Change Everything  speaks to the roles of individuals, corporations, and governments in fighting for the planet and vulnerable populations across the globe. The book addresses climate science, disaster capitalism, youth activism, geoengineering, the original New Deal and the Green New Deal, all in an approachable way. It covers situations like Hurricanes Katrina and Maria, issues of fracking, indigenous people’s initiatives for change, and it even discusses health disparities and other lessons related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Klein and Stefoff make clear the need for taking action against climate change now, and provide some actionable steps to walk our students through activism, advocacy, building awareness, green art opportunities, legal tools, and building their own tool kit on how to engage in climate justice and hopefully inspire conviction, passion, and ultimately, action.

Some students will also read an additional title during the summer .   Check the chart below to see if you need to read an additional title before returning to school in the fall.  Based on the class you will be in this fall, click the link below (or use the tabs/drop downs up above) to find summaries, author info, videos, read-alikes, and more.  

Author bio - Naomi Klein

Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist and  New York Times  bestselling author. She is a columnist with  The Guardian . In 2018 she was named the inaugural Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair at Rutgers University and is now Honorary Professor of Media and Climate at Rutgers. In September 2021 she joined the University of British Columbia as UBC Professor of Climate Justice (tenured) and co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice.

Summary of How to Change Everything

Naomi Klein’s eighth book,  How to Change Everything: A Young Human’s Guide to Protecting the Planet and Each Other  is her first book written specifically for young readers.  Along with Rebecca Steffof, she adapts over twenty years of reporting and research on climate change and the movements that are trying to stop it.  Young readers will find stories and information that they can use on their journeys to create a better future.  A global movement is already underway to combat not only the environmental effects of climate change but also to fight for  climate justice  and make a fair and livable future possible for everyone. And young people are not just part of that movement, they are leading the way!  Young leaders are showing the world that this moment of danger is also a moment of great opportunity—an opportunity to change everything for the better.

The paperback of  How  To Change Everything  was published February 22, 2022 in US, Canada and the UK and is being translated into over 15 languages worldwide. Naomi was onstage virtually with youth climate leaders in multiple events to discuss the book and the youth climate movement.

C ourse: Summer Math Assignment

The purpose of the summer math assignment is to assist with reviewing material that students should already be familiar with to ease students back into the school year.  In addition, not as much time will be needed in class to review previous material and new content can start to be covered sooner.

The assignment is required and will be assigned a grade.  The assignment needs to be fully completed with all work shown and brought to school on the first day of school.  You may print the assignment and show your work on the assignment if enough space was provided or you may show your work on your own paper.  There will be an assessment over the review material soon after you return to school at a date to be determined by your teacher.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.
