TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to AP Literature & Composition, Class of 2020! Mrs. Larsen/Rm. D-6
Over the course of the next school year, we will be enjoying some excellent literature, developing SIRS projects, and working to prepare for the AP Literature and Composition exam; however, some of you will be taking this course in First Semester, some in Second Semester. Part of your preparation will occur this summer: all AP12 students—Semesters 1 and 2—must complete and submit Assignment #1 no later than Tuesday, September 3 in the main office (in a box labeled “AP English 12 Pre-requisite Assignment #1”). You will also be required to complete Assignments #2 and #3 to submit upon arrival in the first class meeting of your course. I will not accept any late assignments. Be prepared to write an in-class essay on Assignment #2 on the first day of class.
Assignment #1: (Again, due from ALL AP 12 students—regardless of semester—no later than Tuesday, September 3 in the front office (in a box labeled “AP 12 Required Summer Assignment #1” available at Open House) *Take a copy now OR download, print, and complete the handout entitled “Cornell Notes …” on this book (available on the AP Required Reading & Assignments link on the GHS Webpage after 6/10):
How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster
Read introduction and selected chapters as assigned on handout.* You are responsible for obtaining your own copy of this book, which will be an excellent one to own for all future endeavors in reading literature. Amazon offers this paperback new for $10.87.
Assignment #2: Choose one of these novels to read in its entirety—due the first day of class in your assigned semester:
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley 1984 by George Orwell
Check out novels from Ms. Sharp (D-12) or me (D-6) before the end of the year or in the GHS Counseling Office during the summer. If you have read one previously, do not choose that one; be ready to discuss both. If you wish to read both this summer because you like having options on prompts later, you may do so. As you read the novel, select 8 passages to copy (with the page #) into a 2-column passage journal (spiral notebook that you will keep throughout the course…you may continue in one from AP Eng11). Copy each passage on the left side of the page. To the right of each passage, analyze the passage in either bulleted, well-written statements or 1-2 well-written paragraphs (your choice, but I expect depth!). Concentrate on the passage’s contextual significance, narrative style, point of view, and meaningful literary elements, such as characterization, conflict, symbolism, irony, etc. Show me what you see! How to Read Literature Like a Professor should inspire you with lots of ideas. *I cannot overemphasize the value of tagging your novel with brief notes—post-its—as you read; I’m sure you know this already, but nothing helps more in discussion than this excellent practice. Please do yourself this favor as a reader!
Your AP 12 Passage Journal with the 8 entries will be due upon arrival in our first class. All work must be from your thought-filled mind! No assistance whatsoever!
And one more thing…please turn this sheet over…
Assignment #3: A useful writing assignment—for you and for me! Compose one formal personal essay to bring to class on the first day. I will consider it a rough draft—a clean-as-you-can-get-it typed rough draft—which you will revise after I read it to see your personal writing style and hold an in-class writing workshop. Compose your college application essay (these are personal essays) for your first-choice school or your favorite Common Application topic (online and below). Use only the topic and length/word count prescribed to you, the applicant, by the application (usually about 500 words). Be real and present; think about your professional but authentic voice and concerns. Think about the art of the sentence. If you go over the prescribed word count (within reason), don’t worry; that is just one more thing we will revise.
1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
2. The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
3. Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
4. Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
5. Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
6. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
