I have a pet, who also happens to be my brother. >.>
So have you guys started/finished your summer homework yet? I haven’t started yet. For AP lang I have to read and annotate Outliers and Fast Food Nation and create a website for each of them. For APES I have to answer 125 questions from a video and create a huge chart of legislative acts that effect the environment
No!!!
Okay so I have the following homework
AP Lang: Read the Great Gatsby and The Immortal Life of Herrentia Lacks, annotate both, right a response for Lacks
AP World: Read two chapters, fill in outlines, right two paragraphs, read a chapter from the other book and write two paragraphs
AP Calc BC: Read a book, follow a schedule, right a response
AP Physics C: Finish chapter 1 and 2, do exercises, watch videos on vectors
I have started reading Gatsby
I have until September 1
Then there is also ACT and PSAT prep 
Wow, that’s a lot.
The APs at our school haven’t really given much homework? For AP Lang I have to read two books from these lists and watch a film from a list (I’m reading My Antonia and Thank You For Arguing.) For APUSH I have to read and outline this excerpt about Christopher Columbus, then do a chapter out of an online textbook, answer questions on both (multi-paragraph responses ): ), then I have to organize all of the vocabulary terms for the year on a large timeline, then define the who, what, when, where, and whys of each of them on a separate paper… After all of that I have to outline certain areas and whatnot on two maps and label states, capitals, etc.
I’m kind of worried that I don’t have homework for AP Bio or AP Psych… I never got homework for AP Human Geo and AP World, though, so, I don’t know. It must suck to have so much homework, but then again it can get you ahead and help prepare you for the class!
I have so much homework. 11 APUSH Essays, 7 more essays for AP Lang on a different book each, plus a research project due two days before school (couldn’t he have made it due the first day of school!?) and I have to take Spanish and college Russian and ACT Prep. I also have an internship at this hospital. I already have grey hair. I think I need to buy a box of hair product.
I’m sure everything I’m doing will be worth it though. Ahh.
I did my English III, as I’ve read all three of the books already. Multivariable 3 is just to study for a test that we already took at the end of Calc BC. Halfway through my AP Bio and haven’t started my AP Physics.
That’s strange, we had @tigerman333 Outliers as a summer assignment for English I. Also had both of @ambers58 books as possible choices for English II summer assignment.
I have had grey hair since I was 7-8. It runs on my father’s side, but people like to assume I’m super stressed because well, overachieving. 
I’m really disappointed. I was typing on my phone and “write” autocorrected to “right” and just GAHHHHH
@sprights I have four or five gray hairs. One day in my freshman Spanish class, I was bent over my desk, doing my work, and the girl next to me shouted in awe (or maybe in shock), “You have a gray hair!” It was kind of embarrassing.
For AP Lit, I have to read three books, write three essays, and do a mini mythology project. For AP Bio, I have to read three books and read five chapters and take notes on them. For AP Psych, I have to read a chapter and take notes on it.
I’m so stressed for the ACT! September isn’t far away, and with the scores I keep getting, I doubt I’ll do well.
No grey hairs, no summer homework, no stress.
Actually, I am stressed. I will die next year.
Whoops.
@Frigidcold It runs in my family too! My sister already got a couple when she was in elementary… That’s scary! I can’t imagine her in high school :))
@photogeek8 my cousin is a pharmacist and she has a ton and once someone she was working with pointed them out…she said try going to school for 8 years then having a residency and try to find a job… 
@topaz1116 I hope you do ok. (: I’m sure you can handle it!!
I am jealous of all you with no summer homework and only homework for aps, For me I have:
APUSH: Read and annotate a chapter of American Pageant, take a stand on one of the major issues discussed in the chapter, develop a thesis and write a two page paper on it which isn’t bad but I hate history so it is going to be hard for me
AP Chem: I have to read the first three chapters of my text book (each around 30 pages each) and answer the questions at the end of each chapter, roughly 20 each
Honors Pre Calc: I have to answer 96 questions from the textbook they gave us at the end of Algebra 2
Honors English 11: I have to read Beowulf (which they are making us buy) annotate and highlight it as I read and fill out this very detailed reading organizer which is going to take forever to do, plus Beowulf is an incredibly hard book to read, at least for me.
Honors Biology: I have to choose and read and annotate 4 articles from a specific database, take notes, and share my findings in a google doc with my class
Honors Spanish: Honestly I don’t even know because the instructions are all in spanish and we haven’t learned half the words the new teacher used who wrote it. But it consists of going to a few different websites and doing these different activities and such on them.
I’m also taking Personal Finance over the summer in order to have room to take all these classes next year. And I have a test in each of these classes the first week of school so all the teachers wrote in their summer assignments not to start until August (school starts September 3) so its “fresh in our minds.” But obviously since each teacher is saying that I have to do some of their work in July and earlier on. So far I have only been doing AP Chem and reading Beowulf. I thought chem would be new interesting material but so far its all boring review of basic stuff from Honors Chem.
This is also considered to be a shrunken workload from last year, as all the parents complained last year because I spent at least 200 hours on summer work for sophomore year, and many people spent more than me, so they reevaluated our summer work and this is what they decided was good because “the teachers believe that this is a fair amount and will be completed in a reasonable time.” They also said that last year, and it was only supposed to take 55 hours for me to do all my work, but I spent 200. So needless to say, our entire student body is very frustrated with our summer work and the administration right now.
I’m so glad, I barely have any summer homework! For AP Lang I just have to read Notes of a Native Son and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, and be ready for a test on both when I get back to school.
I really need to start doing some SAT prep though.
I’m self-studying AP psych so I’m leisurely reading through a prep book for it from the library.
Native Son is such a good book.
@KE3299 That’s terrible. We had to buy all our books too.
@ambers58 great! I look forward to reading it then!
@MissRB0021 You definitely have to tell me what you think of it!!
@ambers58 I definitely will!
I have more summer homework than I want to have.
AP Chem: Read the first 4 chapters in our textbook (which amounts to around 120 pages) and do 100 review questions (which have multiple parts…)
English 11 Honors: Read The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye, and annotate them.
AP Spanish: A variety of exercises, which includes writing e-mail replies, 5-paragraph essays,reading documents and answering questions, reading documents and listening to audios then answer questions, and listening to audios then answer questions.
The Spanish doesn’t really sound like much, but all the audios are really fast…
My Spanish is due in 2 parts: July 6 and August 3. My Chemistry is due August 10, and my English reading is due when school starts around August 19.
I really want to join a sorority, hope to make a lot of friends from there.
