You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. Butone thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same\u003Cbr>person who walked in.” ~Haruki Murakami |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\nI congratulate you on accepting the challenge of Advanced Placement Literature and Composition. The senior year will introduce you to world literature. Through the study of various literary forms, we will examine the changes in both writing and culture. As part of this program, I askyouto read at least two books over the summer. Both of these books can be purchased at any of our local bookstores or borrowed from the libraries. Furthermore, I have established a Google Classroom for summer reading. The Join code is bsnmgna. I will also post a remind code in the classroom, so if you have any questions, you can get in touch with me. When the school year starts, I will be deleting this classroom so that you are not overwhelmed by too many classrooms. My advice is to sign up before school lets out, so if you have issues, you can check with me. As you progress through the books, please post your comments (these can be significant quotes with your reactions, reflections on writing styles, or questions you may have.) I would like your response to How to Read Literature like a Professor posted no later than July 30th (2 postings). You will post on the other book at least twice before August 31th . One of the postings must apply ideas from How to Read Literature like a Professor to a chapter from your book. The postings reflect an AP student’s intellect and drive, so they should clearly be longer than one or two paragraphs. I will be checking weekly andwill answer questions and leave my comments. Upon your return to class in September, I will be assigning a separate essay of your reading to access your initial writing skills and comprehension skills. If you are looking for anyother books to read and aim for books that have shown up on the AP Literature and Composition test, check Google Classroom for a list of books appearing on the AP test as well as our fall syllabus – feel free to read ahead. Also, if I have not already set you up your Google Classroom, please email me so I can get you the password. This will be our primary means of communication, and I will post all assignments on there.
