This is a challenging class, but you may already know that by reputation. In some other reality, you might have enrolled in ‘Comp’ and picked up the same college credit or ‘English 4 Honors’ and earned a partial quality point, but you know that universities smile most kindly on students who don’t shy away from AP courses. In fact, the single most reliable predictor of college success (according to many universities’ admissions offices) is a high school student’s performance in AP courses; a B or higher in 3 or more AP courses makes you highly desirable to universities. While you could be doing anything else with this portion of your upcoming year, you choose to challenge yourself as a learner by enrolling in AP Literature. For that, I respect you.  \nBy the way, [bentonenglish.com](bentonenglish.com) is the class website. Despite its silly name, it’s designed to be quite useful to you. Feel free to visit it this summer if any unforeseen tragedy befalls this packet. Once school starts up, weekly schedule updates, downloadable handouts, e-texts, and other groovy resources shall be at your disposal.  \nI am strict in a few ways; essays and journals need to be at school by the due date even if you are not. My definition of“cheating” is also very broad. If you write something, you are personally guaranteeing that it is an idea of your own creation. Even closely imitating another human's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions and representing them as your own original work is an intellectual, academic, and moral failure. Zeros, referrals, banishment from honor societies, a general fall from grace, and blacklisting by legitimate universities are all reasonable (and probable) consequences for an individual who sins in this way. I will actually read everything you write, so my respect for you as a writer is not just in word but also in deed.  \nApproach this course with a teachable mindset: as an opportunity to improve your academic writing.  \nIf you endured AP Language (not at all necessary in order to succeed in this course, though many concepts do carry over quite well), you recall that course’s exam focusing on rhetoric: specifically nonfiction. The AP Literature exam is a wholly different beast. To succeed – that is, to avoid wasting your time – you’ll need to be comfortable reading challenging literature on a genuinely analytical level. No matter the text, you must be capable of considering its structure, style, figurative language, imagery, symbolism, tone, and themes. I will help with this.  \nThat said, you must do the assigned reading to succeed in this class. I truly mean that; it’s about 20 minutes of reading a day. As helpful as Google and all the digitized collective thoughts ofthe human race are, you will never finish this race if you shoot yourself in the foot with the starter’s pistol. If you’ve been lazy in the past and have taken advantage of cushy courses in which you could get away with crossing the “B”order in the trunk of Spark Notes, don’t be ashamed. It’s just time to leave that in the past along with those awkward freshmen memories you’d rather be forgotten.  \nYou’ve (hopefully) read all sorts of literature already in your academic career. These may include such works as Great Expectations, The Great Gatsby, The Scarlet Letter, and Othello. (By the way, those listed are among the top 20 most suggested works on the exam’s infamous Open Essay.) For this year’s class, there are about a dozen diverse works that have been selected for you to add to your literary arsenal; all of them require unhurried, careful,","cbCairpPm3qnLgEt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairpPm3qnLgEt","pdf",1212057,16,"English","# packet contents: Letter to the AP Lit Student\n## Mythology Study Packet\n## Siddhartha Theme Log\n## Jane Eyre Theme Log\n## Summer reading schedule and assigned texts","[{\"question\":\"What is expected regarding assignments and deadlines for this AP Lit course?\",\"answer\":\"Essays and journals must be turned in at school by the due date, regardless of whether the student is present for the deadline period.
