Welcome to AP English III!
PLEASE NOTE: SINCE THERE ARE TWO GENERAL SUMMER READING NOVELS, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANNOTATE THE BOOKS OR COMPLETE THE EXTRA BOOK REVIEW.
Welcome to the Advanced Placement English program at St. Patrick Catholic High School! I look forward to a productive, challenging, and intellectually stimulating year together. During the summer you will read a minimum of two novels: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and the school's summer reading novel. You will read a text on academic writing and complete a diagnostic AP English multiple choice test. We will intertwine social issues into our study and discussion of these novels in order to begin preparation for the national test in AP English Language and Composition.
A copy of all assignments for the summer can be found at www.stpatrickhighschool.net/summer.
In order to properly annotate The Scarlet Letter and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, make sure to read Adler's "How to Mark a Book."
Please note: All written work is to be original. Do not work on these assignments together. Please be forewarned that phrases, sentences, and/or ideas copied from sources (either paper or online) or each other will result in no credit for the assignment. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in this course. Contact me via e-mail ([email protected]) should you have any questions regarding the summer reading assignment. Please be patient if I do not respond right away. I will not be able to check my e-mail everyday over the summer months.
Also, if you include references or direct quotations from the summer reading texts, you must use MLA 8 format in order to cite your sources. See below for more information pertaining to MLA 8 formatting.
