One portion of the exam, the Free Response essay, demands that students have familiarity with a wide body of literary works from which they can draw when writing the essay. The goal of the course’s reading, however, is not only to prepare you for the exam but to provide you with the opportunity to interact and reflect on texts that will engage and challenge your thinking.  \nIf you have any questions please email me [at](at wayne_b@cneschools.org. I do receive work emails)[ ](at wayne_b@cneschools.org. I do receive work emails)[wayne_b@cneschools.org](at wayne_b@cneschools.org. I do receive work emails)[. I do receive work emails](at wayne_b@cneschools.org. I do receive work emails) to my cell phone, but I also work during the summer. I will try my best to respond within 2-3 days!  \nAll assignments are due on August 20, 2018 in order to reserve the first two days of school for any questions/clarification. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO TRY TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENTS. Any students who do not turn in all summer reading assignments by the due date will be recommended for a schedule change to a CP English course.  \nAssignment \\#1-Two Books  \nPlease read the required book first, then do your book of choice. Each has its own assignment.  \n1. Purchase or borrow (from a local library OR we have a limited number of copies here at the school) a How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster.  \na. Take notes on each chapter in a spiral bound or composition notebook. *Skip the first 3-4 pages of the notebook, before beginning this assignment. * These notes will be checked for grading purposes, but you may do them in the format of your choice. Here is a website with the 4 most widely used note-taking formats [https://www.studyright.net/blog/types-of-notes/](https://www.studyright.net/blog/types-of-notes/ .

Choose a novel from the list below. You should choose something in which you will be interested. Interested does not mean that the task will be “fun” in the usual sense. In fact, it maybe, should be hard. But doing well and succeeding at something hard can be fun. It does require discipline to train yourself to read hard texts and think deeply about them, but it is worth it, not only for the AP exam, but also for college and beyond.  \na. Novel Options:  \ni. The Color Purple by Alice Walker  \nii. Emma by Jane Austen  \niii. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  \niv. 1984 by George Orwell  \nv. Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw  \nvi. Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut  \nb. After reading this novel, choose one of the following prompts that you feel you can most successfully respond to in a 3 page paper. (MLA format)  \ni. Many plays and novels use contrasting places (for example, two countries, two cities or towns, two houses, or the land and the sea) to represent opposed forces or ideas that are central to the meaning of the work. Choose a novel that contrasts two such places. Write an essay explaining how the places differ, what each place represents, and how their contrast contributes to the meaning of the work. Avoid mere plot summary.  \nii. In some works of literature, a character who appears briefly, or does not appear at all, is a significant presence. Choose a novel of literary merit and write an essay in which you show how such a character functions in the work.
