The summer reading program is an important feature of the Honors/A. P. English Program, and it serves two functions: 1) to keep you active as readers, broadening your horizons, and 2) to forestall summer brain death through writing about what you have read. This important requirement will ease your transition into the A.P. English Program.
In the junior year, the summer reading selections are nonfiction and fiction based and will give you a deeper understanding of the different voices that permeate expository texts and great literature. You will be exploring complex narrative structures, issues, and personal dilemmas that should inform you about the complex ways that human beings interact with their world.
The summer reading program and accompanying assignments will be part of your grade (15%) for the first semester. Your typed responses to the literary analysis questions will be due June 15 (Outliers: The Story of Success), July 11 (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas), and August 3 (1984) by 11:59 PM through submission to turnitin.com. I will be unavailable and out of technology’s reach intermittently throughout the summer. So, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE.
