Additional resource to purchase:

Your textbook comes with online resources that are very helpful and will be part of your class

assignments. Animations, simulations, practice quizzes and instructional videos are some of the

resources available. You should purchase access to these resources by following these

instructions provide by our textbook rep:

After clicking this link students can enter the zip code and locate their school in the drop-down

menu. They'll then be directed to your page.

● Option A is ISBN 9780135300619 - digital access to Mastering+eText (no physical book).

This can be purchased by students who feel comfortable using the online platform at

home to access their eText and assignments 100% digitally.

● Option B is ISBN 9780135214763 - the print textbook bundled with Mastering+eText.

This can be purchased by students who would like the option of having a print text at

home, as well as the digital platform.

● The last ISBN is a Test Prep Workbook to help prepare for the AP Exam. This can be

purchased by students who would like the extra support, and I marked this item as

optional. This is an optional resource and not required for class.

It is important that students order only ISBN 9780135300619 or ISBN 9780135214763 in order

to qualify for access to Mastering. Please discourage any purchases from Amazon, as students

Page 3: Biology Textbook info and Summer Assignments Edition ......Calculus AB and Calculus BC Examinations, 2010; Cade, Caldwell, Lucia; Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning. ISBN: 13:978-0-547-21307-1

will not receive an access code when purchasing from their site (even if it's listed, it is often

misleading and students will end up purchasing a used text with no code card).

AP Computer Science A

This online course will cover the first semester of a college introductory programming course.

The course will be divided between lecture and computer laboratories. A computer for home

use will be required since extensive home computing will be required for successful completion

of this course and the AP® test. Successful completion of a previous programming class (Visual

C++ or Visual Basic) is suggested. Students are required to test for this course. This on-line

course will not be included in Honor Roll, GPA, or Rank calculations, as also outlined in the

Student Handbook.

AP Computer Science Principles

This online course introduces students to the foundational concepts of computer science and

challenges them to explore how computing and technology can impact the world. With a

unique focus on creative problem solving and real-world applications, AP Computer Science

Principles prepares students for college and career.

This course offers a multidisciplinary approach to teaching the underlying principles of

computation. The course will introduce students to the creative aspects of programming,

abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the Internet, cybersecurity concerns, and computing

impacts. AP Computer Science Principles will give students the opportunity to use technology

to address real-world problems and build relevant solutions. Together, these aspects of the

course make up a rigorous and rich curriculum that aims to broaden participation in computer

science. Successful completion of Algebra I is suggested. This on-line course will not be

included in Honor Roll, GPA, or Rank calculations, as also outlined in the Student Handbook.

Because this is a purchased course through a third party, students cannot drop after August

21st. Please communicate any concerns/questions to Miss Wilsoncroft

Summer Assignments

Assignment 1: Literary Analysis

Read: The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell

Write: Compose a 2 – 3 page literary analysis essay on the novel. Your essay should assert and

develop support for a thesis explaining 1) what the author of your text was trying to do (think

“theme”) and 2) how she crafted the elements of literature in the novel to achieve that

purpose. Consider plot, setting, character, and any other significant elements you see working

in the novel.

Due: Email to Mr. Brown at [email protected] by July 31

Assignment 2: A Scene from Three Perspectives

Page 7: Biology Textbook info and Summer Assignments Edition ......Calculus AB and Calculus BC Examinations, 2010; Cade, Caldwell, Lucia; Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning. ISBN: 13:978-0-547-21307-1

Read: The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell

Write: Throughout The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, Mitchell weaves the narrative

together from the perspectives of several different characters. In many cases we ultimately

understand a scene in a completely new way once we have seen it through the eyes of another

character. I want you to spend some time thinking carefully about how consequential this

obvious fact is: that an event or an idea can appear completely different when we see it from a

new perspective.

Adopting a variety of perspectives is one of the most important skills that you will work to

develop in AP English Language. I want you to practice this skill over the summer with a

narrative writing assignment.

Pick an event that you experienced or observed over the summer; it should be brief and rich,

one that you can write about in great detail. Tell the story of what happened from at least three

different perspectives by adopting the narrative strategies that Mitchell uses in the story. Build

out the perspectives by including rich detail about the subject through whose eyes we are

seeing the story.

Consider, for example, a scene that might play out during a family vacation: Your one younger

cousin ruins a sandcastle that her older brother is building. They fight, and the older brother

throws sand towards the sister, but, missing her, hits you in the face while your all on fleek

snapping selfies to your crew. Your aunt intervenes to break it all up.

How does the scene look from each of the actors? What motivated each of them? How do they

view their own actions as well as those of the others? Develop these details as you craft a rich

narrative.

Due: Email to Mr. Brown at [email protected] by July 31

Assignment 3: Seminar Prep

Read: One of the Choice Books

Prepare: As you read your book, annotate it. Identify key ideas and major supporting details.

Make sure you understand key concepts that the author works to develop and that you are able

to communicate these verbally. Practice by telling your family members what you are reading

Page 8: Biology Textbook info and Summer Assignments Edition ......Calculus AB and Calculus BC Examinations, 2010; Cade, Caldwell, Lucia; Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning. ISBN: 13:978-0-547-21307-1

about and what you think of the ideas presented. Ask them the questions that you are

considering as you read.

Then, prepare for seminar by identifying and writing a brief response to five passages in the

book. Select a passage which connects to each of the five questions below:

1. What problems do we have to deal with as human beings?

2. To what extent do human cultures and societies help us to deal with these problems?

To what extent do they make these problems worse?

3. What solutions are available to us to solve these problems?

4. What obstacles might get in the way of these solutions?

5. To what extent is it possible and likely that we can solve the great problems that we

face as human beings?

Your written response should clearly connect the passage to the question and analyze what the

author believes and why.

Though written on a wide variety of subjects, there are many deep connections which link our

books. Your grade for the opening seminar will depend wholly on your ability to make those

connections, which will depend on your thorough knowledge of the book and your creative

critical thinking.

Due: Email to Mr. Brown at [email protected] by July 31

Assignment 4: The Pure Essay

Read: One of the Choice Books

Write: Believe it or not, essays were not invented by teachers who wanted to torture students.

In fact, the genre dating back to the 1500’s when the great French philosopher Michael de

Montaigne published a collection titled Essais. Indeed, the word “essay” is taken from the

French verb “essayer” which means “to try.” And that’s exactly what an essay is: an author

trying to think systematically about a question or idea and to communicate those thoughts to

another.

The books you will read may be too long (some of them at least) to qualify as essays in the

technical sense, but in each, the author “tries” to argue a perspective or to develop an

understanding through question and exploration.

Page 9: Biology Textbook info and Summer Assignments Edition ......Calculus AB and Calculus BC Examinations, 2010; Cade, Caldwell, Lucia; Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning. ISBN: 13:978-0-547-21307-1

Write an essay in which you try to think systematically about an idea or a question related to

your book. First, identify some questions or ideas that the book made you consider. List these.

Then, think and, if necessary, read more. You can begin to write as you do this, but spend some

time letting the question sit with you and, potentially, exploring it further. Next, create an

outline. Now that you have thought about the subject or question, what topics will you need to

cover in an essay. If you will argue for a particular perspective, what points will you need to

make? Write your outline and submit it with your final essay. Finally write and revise. A good

essay should be re-written multiple times to tighten the connections between your ideas as

your understanding of the subject grows. Your final work should be focused, well-organized,

thoroughly developed with specific details, and should adhere to proper conventions of writing.

*All four texts below can be purchased as paperbacks. Since I will be teaching annotation and the seminar model, students will need to write in their books. Summer Assignments

*All Summer Assignments will be due on July 31, 2020 Emma, by Jane Austen Zoom Site: To Be Announced (TBA), -This session will be an online teacher/student engaged learning environment. The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare Poetic Device Assignment: This is a comedic love story/play that shows the common stereotypes and social norms of the Renaissance Period, particularly evident between men and women. In human nature, we learn that love can be complex but, the question for the reader is can love “conquer all?” Write a poem that illustrates the dynamics of the play and the theme of love. The criteria are listed below:

1. One line demonstrating personification

2. One line that demonstrates simile or metaphor

3. One line of alliteration

4. One line that demonstrates allusion (Shakespeare uses allusion extensively in his

writing; often, he references mythology)

5. One direct quote taken “word for word” from the play that is integrated into your

poem. This line is cited at the end of the line. Ex: ‘” Tranio, I saw her coral lips to move,

/And with her breath she did perfume the air”’ (Shakespeare 487).

All lines that exemplify a literary element should be labeled at the end of each line

The poem is to be 10+ lines in length and be creative!

Academic Journaling: Students will keep a structured journal based on a handout that I provide

for them via an attachment to their school email.

Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad Self-Reflection Assignment: Conrad’s premise is that man will do unspeakable things to gain power and influence which is conveyed in the behavior of key characters in the novel. “In Conrad’s haunting tale, Marlow, a seaman and wanderer, recounts his physical and psychological journey in search of the enigmatic Kurtz” (Ackroyd, Times). Write a Self-Reflection about a time or personal event where greed or the need for power/recognition got the best of you. Think of this writing as a polished journal entry; it is not a formal essay. Length is to be one and a half pages that are double spaced. Name, class, and date are to be single-spaced and typed on the left-hand side of the paper!

Additional Purchases: I highly suggest (but not required) you purchase an AP

Psychology test workbook. They are full of practice AP test questions and reviews. It

does not matter what company it comes from – Pearson and Barron are two of the

best.

AP Research & AP Seminar

Summer Assignment: Independent Reading

Because the AP Seminar and AP Research courses rely so heavily upon student discipline, self-

direction, and pure curiosity you will spend the summer working to cultivate these habits by

reading material that is interesting to you (or, if that fails, by reading material that is

uninteresting until it becomes interesting). Each student will independently come up with a

reading proposal which they must submit to Mr. Brown via email within the first two weeks of

summer break.

Requirements of the Proposal:

· It must outline at least 20 hours’ worth of reading (roughly 20 minutes per day of

the summer) This is probably equivalent to 2 substantial books, 3 shorter books, or 40

articles or essays.

· Reading can include any genre but both fiction and non-fiction must feature

prominently.

· List any books you intend to read. For articles or essays, it is sufficient to give

topics that you will read about or periodicals that you will read consistently.

· Up to four hours may be accounted for by film, tv, or music, provided that it is

properly logged and that you can make the case for its merit in connecting to your areas

of interest.

· Include, with the outline of material you will read, a few paragraphs justifying

your selections and discussing the ways in which they connect to your specific interests.

As you read, you must keep an informal log of what you have read. This log will be handed in on

the first day of school.

Requirements of the Reading Log:

· Record all titles of works you have read and indicate the genre

· Write at least 6 pages of reflection on your reading

o You may meet this requirement as you see most fit. Perhaps you will want to

write a short summary and analysis to accompany each reading. Perhaps you will

want to discuss several readings and the connections between them in a longer

reflection. Perhaps you will want to write one long reflection on a book and

several shorter reflections on some accompanying essays. Perhaps you will want

to write one long six-page reflection in which you look back collectively on all

the reading you have done. Any of these approaches is acceptable as long as you

meet the length requirement.

o Your reflection should be exactly that: it should reveal your careful thought

about the reading and go far beyond providing a mere summary.

Proposal Due: Email to Mr. Brown at [email protected] by June 7
