<p>For AP lang we're supposed to read 2 books, each one from a different category (we get to choose out of a list).</p>
<p>I finished everything but is it likely that I will have a QUIZ on the first day of school?</p>
<p>What do AP teachers usually do when it comes to summer work? Do they quiz you, make you write an essay in class, etc?</p>
<p>Sadly, no. The one year I had a reading assignment, the previous teacher didn’t tell anyone until a few days before school started. Whoops. </p>
<p>Freshman year I read a book and we were asked to write an in-class essay. It was the first time I cried in a high school English class and definitely not the last. At least I got an 80 or something on the one sentence I wrote. </p>
<p>It was a pretty good book, too.</p>
<p>For my 10th grade accelerated humanities class, we were supposed to read Huckleberry Finn. However, we didn’t have a quiz or a test and I realized that I probably could’ve just read Sparknotes’ character information for every thing I needed to do for the project.</p>
<p>For AP English Language, we were supposed to read Jane Eyre. We didn’t have a quiz or anything and we ended up not really having to read it either…</p>
<p>Now for AP English Literature, we’re supposed to read A Prayer for Owen Meany and I’m actually reading that now.</p>
<p>Well I do for the fun and for PSAT.</p>
<p>We always had to read two books and write an in-class essay on the first day that somehow relates both books. It was always weighed the most heavily compared to every other essay of the year. Some teachers even based the first few weeks of instruction on a detailed analysis of both books.</p>
<p>ETA: Most teachers assigned books that could not be found on Sparknotes.</p>
<p>Hm. I havent taken AP English but last year we had a test (worth a test grade I believe) a week or so in, and the second book (1 book was mandatory, the other we got to pick off a list) was counted as extra credit if we passed the test, if we failed it didnt count against us…</p>
<p>The year before that … I never even read either of the books and I passed book quizzes with 80+ I didnt really care about my grades back then. </p>
<p>I wouldnt worry about it, you did it, you might get an easy A, good for you. If you didnt do it, you couldve risked a low grade (if you care about that sort of thing).</p>
<p>I had to read the Iliad this summer for my english class, and A Long Walk to Water was the all-school read.</p>
<p>I’m taking AP Lang this year and we had to read 7…</p>
<p>Lucky! My freshman year we had to read 4 books and on three of them we had to analyze them and write about it with a set of instructions and were due the first week of school. My sophomore year I read 3 books(one I had choice between 2), and had the do the same thing almost. This year, I’m reading 3 books and we have a test the 2nd day I have the class(A/B schedule).</p>
<p>Freshman and sophomore year I took honors and had to read two books each summers. Both years we did not have a quiz the first day, though we did have a quiz like a week into school. This year for AP we have three books, though everybody says the teacher does not give the quizzes till like a month in.</p>
<p>My AP Lit summer work is worth 700 points. I’m definitely doing it</p>
<p>For any summer reading I’ve ever had, there was always a project or essay due the first day of school. So it kind of forced you to read the book.</p>
<p>^^Yes… Currently struggling with 4 books for AP Euro and 2 for AP Lit… Essays for all of them…</p>
<p>Whenever I have summer homework, I have to write an analysis on it or do dome kind of a project that requires knowledge of the book. It just depends on the teacher assigning it.</p>
<p>We get to choose from a list of 5-6 books. Regular classes read one, and honors/AP read two. We just have a quiz on it (online). The books are usually not too bad, however sometimes they are too easy. This year for Juniors, we had the first two “Hunger Games” books on our option list. Lol…</p>
<p>I’m currently procrastinating on summer reading.</p>
