Conversely, second-semester students must follow this link to access the Google Classroom for submissions. Every student is required to complete their work on a Google Doc and share it with my official email address; you must grant me full editor permissions.

Summer Reading Assignment  \nYou must complete each of the following tasks for each of the assigned chapters (1-5, 8, 11) of Thank You for Arguing. Be sure to respond to each task thoroughly and completely; your responses will count as a test grade for the first term. You should make sure your ideas are both organized and presented clearly and thoroughly. Please keep in mind that this is an AP class; therefore, I expect well-developed responses. If you pace yourself over the summer, this assignment will not be overly laborious.  \nNote: It is expected that you complete your summer assignments individually. Although you may struggle, put forth your best effort and ensure that you complete all of the tasks detailed below. Coming in with incomplete work and claiming,“I didn’t get it,” is unacceptable.  \nFor this summer reading assignment, you will be relating what Heinrichs discusses throughout his text with real-life examples of rhetorical concepts. That is, you will need to (1) choose a rhetorical concept from each chapter—yes, you may choose what you write about—(2) find a real-life example of an orator/author exemplifying the concept of your choice, and (3) finish the assignment by explaining how the example exhibits the concept. If this sounds confusing, please read the following directions.  \nWhat to Do: Complete the following tasks and ensure that your products resemble the examples provided. In the end, you will have completed the following steps a total of 7 times.  \n1. Choose any rhetorical concept that Heinrichs explores in each of the assigned chapters of the book. You have free rein here. Identify the chapter and the concept on which you would like to focus. In the end, you will have gone through this process SEVEN times.  \nE.g.  \nChapter 3: Arguing with Past-Tense Verbs  \n2. Summarize—do not directly quote—the concept as presented in the text and follow that summary with a parenthetical citation. Follow this format: summary of concept in your OWN words ( Heinrichs page\\#) .  \nE.g.  \nForensic rhetoric relies on past-tense verbs. It usually places blame on an individual ( Heinrichs 28-29) .  \nNote: After I summarized the concept, I added the parenthetical","cbCaijNXdNIxCLDn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijNXdNIxCLDn","pdf",161614,"English","# Summer reading requirements\n## Due date and submission rules\n## Required reading\n## Summer reading assignment overview\n## Task steps for each chapter\n## Citation and MLA requirements","[{\"question\":\"What are the due date and submission rules for the 2026-2027 summer assignment?\",\"answer\":\"The work is due September 4, 2026, or as the school dictates.
