<p>What books did you guys read in these classes? Also, are you doing any assigned readings for the summer? </p>
<p>Eng Lang:
The Scarlet Letter
Huck Finn </p>
<p>Eng Lit:</p>
<p>There are only two English classes....Lang/Comp, and Lit/Comp....by 'Comp' do you mean Lang?</p>
<p>For Lit. go with Cliffsnotes. It is brillant--10 practice tests and numerous essay examples. On top of that, the author is an AP question writer.</p>
<p>I have to read the Bible, Mtyhology, Einstein's Dreams, and Good Poems as part of the AP Lit. summer homework for my school.</p>
<p>I will probably use 5 steps for a 5 as a prep book. However, for English classes, the best prep is just taking practice MC/Essay tests.</p>
<p>our assigned summer reading for ap lit is:
Catch-22
Things Fall Apart
The Great Gatsby</p>
<p>accel-The entire Bible?</p>
<p>Assigned summer reading for Ap lang is:</p>
<p>Love in the Driest Season by Neely Tucker
Passage to India by Forster
Nature/ Self-Reliance by Emerson
Mans Search for Meaning by Frankl
Wouldnt Take Nothing for My Journey Now by Angelou</p>
<p>Summer reading for Lit:
Cry, the Beloved Country (Alan Paton)
The Third Life of Grange Copeland (Alice Walker)
Cat's Eye (Margaret Atwood)
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (Alexander Solzhenitsyn)</p>
<p>I don't know what books are read during the year, but there is a lot of them... If the teacher thinks they have time, she will put in an extra book or two before the AP... we don't have lang</p>
<p>thesloc, </p>
<p>oh sorry about that! NO. the four books: Genesis, Exodus, Job, and Matthew.</p>
<p>Our teacher is making us read the Bible, Mythology, and other classics so that we can be knowledgeable about Biblical, Greek, and Roman references...</p>
<p>Our Lit teacher has been teaching for quite a long time and she truly believes these things will help us achieve a higher AP score...</p>
<p>Will all the books in summer reading be read during the course of the year?</p>
<p>Since my first post was completely irrelevant, I'll try to make it up..</p>
<p>The reading list for the most part follows what CB generally suggests for its open essay: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/english_lit/samp.html?englit%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/english_lit/samp.html?englit</a></p>
<p>Where is the reading list? I dont see it..</p>

<p>Why do you say that?</p>
<p>well, i started June 1st and finished mid july and had over a month to forget.</p>
