I look forward to meeting you in the fall. I consider AP Lang one of the most important English classes (in my humble opinion 􀁶) as it focuses on logic, insight, and evidence for constructing and consuming strong arguments. The course will read canonical works from American literature and pair these works with contemporary nonfiction in preparation for the AP English Language and Composition exam in the spring. I have created a summer reading assignment that I hope you will enjoy but will also prove a useful introduction.  \nPlease contact me at krista.bowen@cobbk12 .org if you have difficulties with the assignment or with procuring a book; I can help. The last thing I want is to make a stressful situation in your family any more stressful.  \nONE OTHER NOTE – AP exams for APUSH, AP Seminar, and AP Lang are going digital next year. Each of these involves 2+ hours of writing. If you are not an efficient typist, it might be a good time to take an online typing class this summer. We will type all timed-writing practice essays to give you more practice.  \nPART 1 : The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald  \nThis is on the short list for the “Great American Novel.” Don’t cheat yourself by not reading this book. This novel has some important ideas and concepts that we will focus on over the course of the semester. Annotate your novel, looking for key ideas about America-our values, opportunities and shortcomings. Mark particularly persuasive and well-written passages to help us evaluate the merits of Fitzgerald’s writing.. I will not collect book annotations, so annotate for yourself, not for me, and start developing a system that works for you as it will prove essential as you move on to the daunting length of college reading assignments. You might use this one-page reading focus guide as a tool for noticing what is important-this will be a starting point for class discussion and a review aid for the test.  \nBe prepared for reading quizzes the first week of school and a test the second week.  \nPART 2: Introduction to Rhetoric and Argument  \nMuch of our work this year will focus on the construction of arguments – looking at how good writers pull together a clear and impactful line of reasoning and support it with convincing evidence. Before you read the three articles for part III, read two passages from chapter 1 of the book Everything’s an Argument and take notes on the concepts bulleted below – feel free to copy and paste the bulleted prompts below into your own document and add your answers. This work must be typed and it will be submitted to turnitin.com for a plagiarism check  \nA NOTE ON PAGE NUMBERS: pages 1-11 refers to the pages that appear in the browser’s page navigation, the page numbers that are printed on  \nthe text itself in the yellow circles are two pages later – pages 3-13 on the book’s page design, in the yellow circles at the top of the page → PAGES 1-11 – DEFINE + DIFFERENTIATE THE AIMS AND GOALS FOR ARGUMENTS – To understand the differences between these argument types, briefly summarize each type’s characteristics based on the reasons we argue.  \n○ Arguments to convince –○ Arguments to persuade –○ Arguments to inform –  \n○ Arguments to explore –○ Arguments to make decisions –○ Arguments to meditate or pray –  \n● REFLECT – which of these argument types do you use in your real-world life, either as a reader or writer? Why do you find this type of argument important in your world? Give an example of a topic that benefits from this argument type.  \n● CONNECT + ANALYZE – after you read the three articles in Part III, choose one of the articles and explain which of the goals of arguments above best explains the author’s purpose and construction of the argument? Support your classification with specific examples from the article.  \nPAGES 16-20 – CATEGORIZE KINDS OF ARGUMENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR STATUS – To underst","cbCailBbAWmwSr9B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailBbAWmwSr9B","pdf",5195867,"English","# PART 1: The Great Gatsby by F.
