<p>AP Govt- Read the Federalist and Anti-Federalists Papers and answer about 15 Qs on the Federalist and write summmaries on the Anti-Federalist Papers</p>
<p>AP Eng 12 (Lit): Read Great Expectations and a book called How to Read Like a Professor. Annotate the Great Expectations and two critical essays. Both will be graded. </p>
<p>AP Chem: Read the first 3 Chaps of our textbook and write write summaries for each- about 3 or pages each- and do the problem sets after each chapter also. </p>
<p>AP Calc- Summer Packet
AP Physics- Read bio of Isaac Newton & make the framework for a year-long concept map project on PowerPoint
AP Lit- Read 2 books and do a bunch of analysis stuff.</p>
<p>AP Comp. Sci - Java tutorials
AP Bio - nothing
AP Art History - nothing</p>
<p>Anyone have any suggestions on good ways to get a head start on bio or art history? I haven't seen any AP books for art history...at least not at Barnes & Noble...and I work there so I don't think I would have missed them...</p>
<p>AP French: lots of studying out of workbooks.. write a journal in french every day. take a bunch on online quizzes and tests and prepare for 6-12 tests in september</p>
<p>AP US: Read 5 books (8 -10 paragraph essays on each).. watch two movies (2 more essays).. and read this crazy long article and do a lot of analysis</p>
<p>AP Calc: Lots and lots of review stuff.. like a 25 page packet with hundreds of problems</p>
<p>AP English: Another 5 books.. 500 word essays on each. "What is the author building in there anyway?"</p>
<p>I was shocked by how little homework I had for AP U.S. History. I just have to read Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis and A Brilliant Solution: Creating the American Constitution by Carol Berkin. I guess that's good though because i plan on self-studying for AP's over the summer.</p>
<p>I can't believe how many people have summer homework for things like AP Bio and AP calc. My classes didn't have any and we covered the material fairly easily. I can understand reading books for the humanities AP's though. I have 2 or 3 ( dont remember) books to read for AP Euro next year.</p>
<p>My school requires every English class, AP or not to have summer reading. We hand in an essay on the first day of class and take a test on the second.</p>
<p>I'ts ridiculous. and of course I got the book I didn't already own (I have an older sister, so I get all her old school books) from the library, and haven't cracked it yet. I should probably do that soon.</p>
<p>But no more summer reading, unless I didn't get ap physics and got ap bio instead. I dropped history! Hooray!</p>
<p>-Read Machiavelli's The Prince and answer 8 questions.
-Read John Locke's Second Treatise on Government (CH 8-13/19) and write an essay (forgot what the essay topic was; it's on my assignment sheet).
-Read Jean Jacque Rousseau's Social Contract Book I and write an essay (topic on assignment sheet)
-Visit the San Francisco Legion of Honor and keep receipt for evidence
-Complete pages of vocabulary
-Read CH 12 in A History of Western Society.</p>
<p>AP English: Read The Jungle, Great Expectations, and Atlas Shrugged, one paper on each book (min of 10 pages analyzing literary devices the author used)
AP Chemistry: A packet of 500 problems (since I had the same teacher for Honors we did most of the problems already)
