AP/Honors Summer Assignments

If you are considering AP Lit for English your senior year, there are a few things you need to know:

 

1. You are signing up to do a lot of reading outside of class.

2. You are committing to developing your craft as a writer. This means a lot of timed essays.

3. You are taking the AP Exam in the spring.

 

 

Although summer reading is not required, it is strongly encouraged. To have an advantage over your peers, it is advised that you build reading stamina over the summer.

 

 

 

These titles have been recommended by both Mrs. Pashby and Mr. Warner:

 

Kindred by Octavia Butler

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

*One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

* The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

Try to read 2 books from the list. Titles with an asterisk (*) indicate that there is a great movie version out there, and you should watch it after you read the book.
