Students who wish to take this course are required to complete the following summer reading assignments. Please read this document carefully, as it contains important details about the tasks you will be completing.  \nWhy are we doing this? While I know it’s not a preference to have to do schoolwork over the summer, I promise there is an objective and purpose behind it.  Here are a few objectives:  \n● Objective \\#1: To give you a clear idea of what to expect from AP Language. This assignment is set up to mimic your quarterly independent reading assignments during the next school year. Each 9 weeks, you will be asked to read a novel of your choice from a list provided to you, complete some tasks while reading, and then take an assessment. It is important that you are prepared for the time commitment this represents. This will be required in addition to the texts we are reading and assignments we are engaged in during class, and you should not expect to have class time to complete anything related to your independent reading assignments.  \n● Objective \\#2: To prepare for the AP English Language exam. One of the questions on the exam will ask you to write essays about non-fiction works you have read, analyzing it through a particular lens. Some prompts lend themselves to certain titles more than others, and you will of course not know what prompt you will receive until the day of the exam. With that in mind, the more AP-level non-fiction works/titles you have in your back pocket, the better. (This is also one reason why you will be given a quarterly independent reading assignment.)  \n● Objective \\#3: To prepare for college. Even if you are not planning to take the exam, this course-and by extension, the summer reading assignment-will be beneficial to you in developing your reading stamina by engaging in synthesis analysis, rhetorical analysis and rhetorical argument skills. College courses require much more homework than you are used to at the high school level; no class time is typically provided for reading or independent work, and students are expected to come to class prepared by having done assigned readings ahead of time. It is highly encouraged to begin honing your time management and critical thinking skills now.  \nIt is my desire and goal to take you further in your learning than you ever thought possible. English provides every student with the skills and tools required to command every facet in the adult world and I will do everything in my power to support you in your journey and discovery.  \nWHAT DO I NEED TO DO? WHERE DO I BEGIN?  \nSummer Reading Assignment \\#1: Terms of Service: The Real Cost of Social Media by Chris Martin ISBN\\# 978-1087738376  \nThis reading assignment is composed of two parts:  \n● 1. A dialectical journal: A major portion of AP English Language & Composition centers around “the development and revision of evidence based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of non-fiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise.”This journal will enable you to identify these specific elements of AP Lang and are to be completed while you read the book. Do not wait until you have finished reading it to make your entries. Your understanding of the text will be deeper when you complete it as you go. See the assignment attached to this syllabus. This will be your first Classwork/Homework grade of Q1 .  \n○ Due: Friday, August 14th (first full day of school)  \n○ Points: 100  \n● 2, Once you have completed your reading, write a critical response to Terms of Service: The Real Cost of Social Media. What are your initial thoughts? Do you agree with Chris Martin or disagree? Explain your reasoning of agreement or disagreement. Your response is to be a minimum of 2 pages to included evidence to support or refute your response.  \n○ Due: Friday, August 14th (first full day of scho","cbCaiaX98gIOggO3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaX98gIOggO3","pdf",430642,"English","# Overview and Objectives\n## Objective #1: Expectations for AP Language\n## Objective #2: Preparation for the AP exam\n## Objective #3: Preparation for college\n# Summer Reading Assignment #1\n## Dialectical journal: Terms of Service: The Real Cost of Social Media\n## Critical response requirements\n# Summer Reading Assignment #2\n## Choose a novel from the provided list\n# Dialectical Journal Definition","[{\"question\":\"What are the main objectives of the AP English Language summer reading assignments?\",\"answer\":\"The document lists three objectives: clarifying what to expect in AP Language, preparing for the AP English Language exam (especially essays about non-fiction using a particular lens), and building college-level reading stamina and critical skills.\"},{\"question\":\"What is required for Summer Reading Assignment #1?\",\"answer\":\"Assignment #1 includes two parts: completing a dialectical journal while reading Terms of Service: The Real Cost of Social Media, and writing a critical response based on initial agreement or disagreement with the author.\"},{\"question\":\"When are the Summer Reading Assignment #1 components due, and how many points are assigned?\",\"answer\":\"Both the dialectical journal and the critical response are due Friday, August 14th (the first full day of school).
