<p>For AP English Language we have to do all three of these:</p>

<p>1) A personal writing assignment</p>

<p>2) Follow one particular famous columnist and read four of their articles over a time period of a month and annotate each article.</p>

<p>3) Read either The Tipping Point or Freakonomics and answer a series of questions given to you.</p>

<p>I have no summer assignments for Calc BC, AP Chem or AP Comp Sci!</p>

<p>Damn, I hate summer assignments! I'm only taking Lang because it counts towards my Senior GPA on my transcript sent to colleges. What do you guys have to do?</p>

<p>Writing assignment during summer break? Sucks for you. For our school's Lang class, we have no hmwk. But for our AP US History, we have to read three books: 'The Ugly American', 'Truman', and 'In Cold Blood' or 'Arc of Justice'.</p>

Last year for Eng Lang I think I was supposed to read 2 or 3 books, study vocab list, take notes on books.</p>

<p>DS1 had to read "Guns, Germs and Steel" for AP WH last summer. DS2 (in IB program) has to do a 450 page grammar review workbook over the summer for Spanish IV. Yikes! I guess he'll know his grammar after this...</p>
