<p>Oh, I also have to read a book by Cory Doctorow. I think it is called “Little Brother”.</p>
<p>Also, I read one of his books, years ago, called “For The Win” and I loved it, so I was stunned to see his work again!</p>
<p>AP English Lang and Comp-Read Chocolat and two books from the approved list, analyze a synthesis essay, and write a blog post for our research paper.</p>
<p>AP Bio-30 short answers, 5 short essays, a paper on arctic wolves, and a photo powerpoint of various ecological terms. </p>
<p>Spanish IV-short packet as a review of Spanish III grammar.</p>
<p>AP US History-60 terms, a DBQ, and a chart detailing the Gilded Age.</p>
<p>History is the killer.</p>
<p>^Lol, I have no idea what the Gilded Age is…</p>
<p>Also, why artic wolves for AP Bio?</p>
<p>@Apollo11 I honestly couldn’t tell you, they randomly gave us an article on arctic wolves and told us to write a paper on it. Pretty bizarre to be honest hahaha</p>
<p>^Sounds crazy!</p>
<p>However, I recommend reading Campbell and Reece, 7th or 8th edition.</p>
<p>That is the AP Textbook, and the 7th and 8th edition are like 10 bucks on Amazon.</p>
<p>It is the most helpful AP Bio resource ever. Even the US Bio Olympiad kids use that book</p>
<p>^Woah, why are they only ten bucks…</p>
<p>The school actually issues Campbell 7th Edition luckily enough! Thank you though</p>
<p>I have to grow a freaking plant for AP Bio, in addition to writing a bunch of stupid essays (only AP bio teacher at my school is one of those teachers who believes that their class is the most important and that no other class matters). For AP Stats we have to teach ourselves the first couple chapters using the PDFs on our teacher’s website. For AP Lit we have to read Catch 22. -______________-</p>
<p>AP Lit: Chose a book, write character analysis and a basic overview with specific points like genre, theme etc. Analyze text excerpts and answer a bunch of questions (they’re so philosophical I doubted whether I had signed up for the right class).</p>
<p>AP Stats: Write definitions for a given vocab list, take notes from 2 chapters, do a bunch of problems from the book, take an online quiz, write a autobiographical essay about yourself.</p>
<p>AP Econ/Govt.: None</p>
<p>It was better than last year :)</p>
<p>@surreptitious: There is a 9th edition, so the older editions’ values depreciate quickly, despite the fact that the 9th edition only adds like 5 pages. Also, the 9th edition is like $150.</p>

<p>^lol, is 1982 an actual book? Do you mean Orwell’s book, “1984”?</p>
<p>^ Yeah, whatever. I’m obviously not reading that one so I don’t really care, ahah</p>
<p>It’s a really good book, all about government surveillance and Big Brother stuff.</p>
<p>I also liked Fahrenheit 451, so it sounds like there are at least a few good options!</p>
<p>I like Fahrenheit 451 more than 1984. Actually…I didn’t even finish 1984. I skimmed the end.</p>
