Summer Homework for 2013-2014 School Year

<p>Just thought if start a post where we could discuss/rant about our summer assignments for the upcoming school year :) </p>

<p>Of my 5 APs, I only have summer work in two (that I know of)! </p>

<p>AP Calc AB: 3 longish worksheets of stuff we never learned in Precal.</p>

<p>AP Lit: read 4 books, write an essay, and do a Major Works Data Sheet. </p>

<p>So far I've done 2 calc worksheets, read the easiest lit book, and done half the MWDS. Yay procrastination :D</p>

<p>Have to do an essay on a book for ap global and a thematic essay on a Spanish book for ap spanish</p>

<p>I’ve finished my packets for AP Physics (about 12 pages) and AP Stats (about 10 pages) already. I did most of it the last week of school, finished both shortly after. </p>

<p>I have to read 3 books [Great Expectations, As You Like It, A Streetcar Named Desire] for AP Lit, and haven’t even started. I have to do 6 blog posts about them as well. Totally dreading this assignment/class, I hate reading novels.</p>

<p>I have 7 APs and I have 5 summer homework assignments.
In English 3 ap/lit we have to read a book (scarlet letter) and answer simple questions.
In Physics B ap, we have around 5 hours of homework of sample problems and reading out of a textbook.
In Comparative gov, we have to read a plethora of internet articles and write a 2-3 page essay of israel vs. us
In Art History, we have to read around 30 pages out of our textbook and answer simple questions
In French 4 ap, we have to do around 100+ pages of work book, 7 essays (memorize for speeches), 4 summaries and vocabulary on chapters, and a report on a french film (i hate my french teacher LOL)</p>

<p>Nothing official, but I should be preparing for my classes next year and working on essays.</p>

<p>I’m taking 5 or 6 APs next year, and I only have 1 summer reading assignment. It’s just to read The Kite Runner and write responses. Fun.</p>

<p>^ The Kite Runner is an amazing book. Just saying.</p>

<p>Don’t get me wrong. I loved it. It’s just a crapload of work. I need to catch up on The West Wing and Arrested Development.</p>

<p>Of the 2AP’s next year only got 1 assignment. Read 2 books and 2 essays(I chose invisible man and brighton rock)</p>

<p>3 books for summer reading.</p>

<p>Lit: Read 5 books, will discuss/quiz/test(?) during first weeks of school.</p>

<p>French: Write 3 emails (80+ words) about given topics, do 5 things(read, write, listen, etc) in french each week for entire summer, complete 9 pages of exercises, read a story/discuss during first week, and study 50 vocab words.</p>

<p>Pre-Calc: I’m taking the course over the summer, so I will be able to take Calc next year.</p>

<p>I’m not really bothered at all by French or Pre-Calc because I love French and can’t wait for Calc next year, but English will be terrible if the books are really boring.</p>

<p>I have to analyze 5 speeches and read 2 books for Lit. Then I have to do a 10-page packet for Calculus. I haven’t started either, yet.</p>

<p>My entire school has to read the Fault in Our Stars by John Greene.</p>

<p>I’m not taking AP lit next year because of choice so no summer reading :slight_smile: all I have to do is install this program for AP Comp Sci.</p>

<p>5 APs, two have summer homework - APCS, AP Chem
Not very long</p>

<p>There is a five hour homework policy for each class that was made this year so I don’t have a lot. </p>

<p>AP Calc: lots of precalc review problems
AP World: read animal farm and complete worksheet
AP Bio: review basic bio and chem in textbook
Western lit: read tale of two cities and write journal entries for every five chapters</p>

<p>I’m also working on taking precalc this summer</p>

<p>Wow I guess I’m lucky compared to some of you all!!! I’m taking French 5 honors but I plan on taking the AP Test, so no summer work because it’s basically self study. As for some of you reading Kite Runner: it’s not hard and I honestly even enjoyed it! The Scarlet Letter was awful but not long so it’s not too dreadful haha :)</p>

<p>AP US History II: 60 terms from our textbook, a DBQ on the settlement of the West, and write an outline/chart on the Gilded Age. </p>

<p>AP Biology: 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 on Spanish III grammar and analyze some story. </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>I have read two chapters of Chocolat and finished Spanish. At least I’m somewhat started…</p>

<p>@Foodlover that better be a joke or John Green is one lucky dude</p>

<p>The fault in our stars is an amazing book.</p>
