That was the first thing my AP Spanish Literature class read, along with two Garc</p>
<p>I love Heart of Darkness!!!</p>
<p>For my school, we have to read A Prayer for Owen Meany for AP Eng, and do some reading and multiple choice questions for Bio, and a few porjects for Comp Sci. Nothing for Calc BC though!</p>
<p>All I have to do is read 1984 by George Orwell, which I’ve already read. I don’t have to write an essay like I did last year. That’s all I have to do for all of my AP classes.</p>
<p>something for English that I’ve forgotten about
Au Revoir Les Enfants for French
something for Gov i’ve forgotten about
nothing for bio.</p>
<p>For bio we just have a 400 page workbook to do. For Lit we have to read five books +presentation+10 page paper…I’m thinking about dropping that class, my summer is already full and I’m really lazy.</p>
<p>5 looong books for AP lit
summer hwk (dont get it til august) for AP Calc BC
read a few chapters do some multiple choice stuff for AP Bio</p>
<p>None for AP Latin!</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Those classes don’t require summer material anyhow. Except French, which you should probably work on independently.</p>
<p>ap chem calc and us: NOTHING!!!
ap english lang: lots of books write essays about it dont know much about it cuz we havent talked to her yet</p>
<p>American Lit Honors (Not an AP class, but we have to take an AP test for it at the end of the year):
The Things They Carried
Their Eyes were Watching God
^read those and analyze them</p>
<p>APUSH:
Chapters 1-16 in the American Pageant.</p>
<p>I actually think a little bit of summer work is good in Spanish and Calculus to keep skills up to par. Some quick worksheets or something like that. However, I would hate having to do essays or reading books for English.</p>
<p>Last summer, my summer assignments for AP English included reading the Grapes of Wrath, completing 5 1-page analyses of quotes from the book, reading Barbara Ehrenreich’s (sp?) Nickel and Dimed and taking notes ot prepare for a test upon our return, writing a 2-3 page essay (double spaced I think) on Bowling for Columbine, and 5 1-page analyses on articles taken from different sources (NY TIMES, etc).</p>
<p>The AP USH assignments included reading The Crucible, writing an essay in response to its characters, conducting research on the time periods and colonies and writing a few pages on that, and reading Founding Fathers and preparing for a multiple choice test on it. There were also a few EC assignments- response to the film of the Crucible and a diary of weekly activities to be compared to colonial life. </p>
<p>I ended up doing about 2/3 or the work and then learned i was moving to Georgia.</p>
<p>This summer I need to read 4 books and write 350 words on each. None of my other AP’s have given assignments.</p>
<p>English- Read 1984, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Rocket Boys. For each book, we must do a character identification for each character, minor or major, that shows up in the book, then we must choose ONE of these for each book and prepare an oral report:
- The significance of an important scene
- The growth experienced by a major character
- The development of the theme</p>
<p>AP USH- Read Founding Brothers and write an analytical essay on one of the three questions she gave us.</p>
<p>Where are you notified about summer work? We’re not knowing our schedules even until July.
And LoTR for summer reading is interesting – perhaps, in AP they should’ve taught at least Silmarillion.</p>
<p>Wow. Rocket Boys as summer reading for AP Eng? That’s pretty interesting. I thought that book was inspiring when I read it in eighth grade…</p>
<p>AP Eng – Far From the Madding Crowd, Pride and Prejudice, Hamlet, Heart of Darkness, A Doll’s House. If you manage to finish all 5, there’s passages out of our giant 1500-paged textbook.</p>
<p>AP Bio – 6 chapters from Campbell’s textbook and about 150 review questions.</p>
<p>For AP Bio… I have to read a book and answer questions, plus do current events reports or something… she’s emailing us a bunch of stuff to do. On top of that, we have to take the G/T (what other people call honors) Bio Final the first week of school for a quiz grade… not good haha.</p>
<p>I will probably have to read something for AP Lit too, not sure what yet</p>
<p>AP Spanish Lit- read “100 Anos de Soledad” + prep for comprehension test on first week/day of school</p>
<p>AP English Lit- read “Brave New World” + “1984”, write a compare/contrast essay for both + we have to divide each book in 3 parts and for each part write a reading log of our thoughts + important quotes + summary… I think there’s gonna be a test too about the books</p>
<p>AP Environmental Science- read “Silent Spring” + write reading journal for each chapter read (summary + reflection) + do this current events journal, which basically is we have to find an article (at least once a week for the entire vacation) related to “Silent Spring” and write reflection about it… test about book during 1st week of schookl</p>
<p>AP Calc BC- problem sets + study notes + do more practice for first day back to school test chp. 9.1-9.4 (haha, i kinda forgot what they were about… =3=) … the teacher never checks the HWK, but i mean you kinda have to do it to LEARN from + PASS his tests</p>
<p>AP Physics C- read chp. 1 of the book + wrap book… haha. teacher says no test will be done BUT he’ll just jump to chp. 2 + expects us to know the stuff discussed in chp.1</p>
<p><em>phew</em>…</p>
<p>well, i suppose I shouldn’t be complaining, because taking a glance @ other people’s responses, especially the 23 page assignment … kinda freaked me out o___O</p>
<p>To mr_chipset:</p>
<p>In our school you sign up for the AP course + the respective AP teacher for that course will give out the HWK you need to do if you want to be in the class (in Mayish) … before, on the first week of school, some teachers would kick students out if they didn’t do the work, but now, because AP classes are like dimininishing in people # (i think) they decided NOT to kick people out but just give them 0s for the work. </p>
<p>And I think they believe grade-conscious people, when realizing their grade is a 70 or something by the end of the quarter, will drop on their own (though the drop period has diminished to 1-2 weeks only… to prevent dropping)</p>
<p>haha… sorry i digressed. hope i answered ur doubt?</p>
<p>for AP English, we have to read and analyze The Awakening, In Cold Blood, and several essays from Slouching Towards Bethlehem. We also have to do vocab.</p>
