The readings include a number of essays, speeches, and political documents. Some fiction and drama will be read and examined in light of the historical context during which the pieces were composed. AP English Lang students examine rhetorical strategies and argumentative/persuasive techniques in writing, speech-making, political cartoons, commercials, and other media as they relate to contemporary issues or the contextual situation of the text.  \nAP English Lang students should enjoy reading and writing, as this course extensively explores both practices in depth. Therefore, the following list provides reading options for this summer. While you are required to read at least one of these texts and respond with a dialectical journal, any or all of these books will benefit you in preparation for this course.  \n● Freakonomics OR Super Freakonomics by Levitt & Dubner (Social aspects of economics)  \n● Blink OR David and Goliath OR Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell (How brains work)  \n● Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck (Psychology)  \n● Grit by Angela Duckworth (Perseverance & success)  \n● The Sense of Style by Steven Pinker (Writing in the 21st Century)  \n● Overachievers OR Geeks by Alexandra Robbins (Success in school)  \nDIALECTICAL JOURNAL  \nAs you read, keep a dialectical journal for your book of choice. You should write this journal in one notebook. DO NOT TYPE YOUR JOURNALS! These journals will consist of quotations to which you respond critically for each work. Journals are due Monday, August 26th. Please label and date journals appropriately.  \nSelect one quotation or passage for approximately every 20-30 pages. Respond to the quotations with your own thoughts and understanding of the author’s ideas, and on the ways in which the author uses language to create an effect. How does that idea apply to you & your future? What is it about the language that stands out and makes the passage distinctive? How does the passage reflect the author’s style and reveal larger themes of the work? I expect responses to be developed thoughtfully and intellectually. Responses should be one complete paragraph in length. The dialectical journals should be constructed in the following manner:  \nJOURNAL TEMPLATE  \n(Left Side of the Page) Quote  \n“Write the quote from the book on the left side of the page. Include the correct MLA citation”(176) . Write your response and analysis to this quote onto the right side of the page.  \n(Right Side of the Page)  \nResponse  \nFor the RESPONSE column, you have several ways to respond to a text and you only need to use one way.  \n_Connect ideas to history, other literature, or current events_Discuss questions about the beliefs / values implied in the text_Give your personal reactions to the passage  \n_Discuss the words / structure (diction / syntax) the author chooses_Tell how this idea applies to you and your life  \n_Argue in support or against the ideas of the author  \n*** Additionally, make flashcards/index cards with each of the terms on the back of this page. Include a definition, an example of each, and allow additional space on the card to expand upon throughout the year. ***  \nFlashcards of Literary & Rhetorical Devices  \nAllusion-An indirect reference to something (usually a literary text, although it can be other things commonly known, such as plays, songs, historical events) with which the reader is supposed to be familiar.  \nAnecdote-A brief recounting of a relevant episode. Anecdotes are often inserted into fictional or non-fiction texts as a way of developing a point or injecting humor.  \nAntecedent-The word, phrase, or clause referred to by a pronoun. The AP language exam occasionally asks for the antecedent of a given pronoun in a long, complex sentence or in a group of senten","cbCaimNIvFNBRVd7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimNIvFNBRVd7","pdf",131630,"English","# Summer Reading List for 2019-2020\n## Dialectical Journal Requirements\n## Journal Template (Left/Right Side)\n## Response Options\n## Flashcards of Literary & Rhetorical Devices","[{\"question\":\"What readings are included on the AP English Language summer list for 2019-2020?\",\"answer\":\"The list includes options such as Freakonomics (or Super Freakonomics), Blink (and related Gladwell works), Mindset, Grit, The Sense of Style, and Overachievers or Geeks, with students required to read at least one text.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the dialectical journal be created and submitted?\",\"answer\":\"Write the journal by hand in one notebook and do not type it.
