<p>Out of curiosity, how much summer homework are you guys getting? This is the summer before my junior year, and I have:</p>
<p>AP Lang: 25 one-page essays, 2 books, one 3-page essay, and 25 vocabulary words (that we find in the books ourselves and define/learn).</p>
<p>AP Chem: Three textbook chapters (loooong) plus the review questions (30+ per chapter), two chapters of which are due August 6th.</p>
<p>AP World History: Two separate packets, 50+ double-sided pages each, with corresponding reading in the textbook.</p>
<p>Honors Precalculus: One 20-page packet of non-review work.</p>
<p>Honors Spanish IV: A 50+ page packet, roughly half review and half new material, plus 200 new vocab words.</p>
<p>Granted, I'm taking the hardest courseload available at my school, but is this really typical for summer assignments? I ended up lugging the textbooks/books/packets to a 3-week writing camp (didn't touch them) and then on a 3-week vacation. I had to talk my parents out of complaining to the school.</p>
<p>Yeah, summer work sucks. Yours sounds pretty typical at my school per class.</p>
<p>Mine:</p>
<p>AP USH - Read and outline first 6 chapters of the textbook (200 pages). Do a book report on The Light and the Glory. Book report should be 2 pages single spaced. Study and be prepared for two quizzes the first week on the 6 chapters and a list of terms he gave us. a really long list of terms, around 200.</p>
<p>AP Eng Lit - Read 4 books. I would list but don't feel like it. Do a 200 word essay on each book, and a synthetic essay, 700+ words on how they all have a similar theme or something like that. Same as USH, two quizzes first week. One on books, other on terms, around 200 I think.</p>
<p>Adv. Chemistry - Read first two chapters of the textbook. Do a couple random questions from those end of the chapter type activities. Yeah, honors classes are a lot easier lol.</p>
<p>So far, chemistry is totally done, I've read all the english books, and have 3 essays left, haven't touched USH. =0</p>
<p>Don't have quite as much as you, but I haven't touched it really.</p>
<p>AP Lit- Read A Bridge over San Luis Rey, Their Eyes were watching God, and Frankenstein. Essay about all three of them and then individual essays responding to authors that responded to the book. Also a practice college admissions essay that isn't even close to any of the Common App prompts and therefore essentially a waste of time.</p>
<p>AP Spanish - Read Harry Potter 1 in espanol</p>
<p>Theology - Read Lilies of the Field (just did that, it only took two hours haha), watch Ghandi and get some religious current events articles...</p>
<p>Not too bad but I have a ton of reading to do that hasn't been started....</p>
<p>i feel really really bad for you...i've taken all the classes listed including more APs and IBs and never had actual summer work..and i thought a personal summer journal (that i saved for the first week of school) was a lot of work</p>
<p>I guess I'm lucky. The only summer work my school gives are two books everyone is assigned to read and we have a test on both of them the day we come back. Its really not bad.</p>
<p>AP lit - paper (one page double spaced) about one of the two books. dued tonight at midnight.. lol i have less then 4 hours and i'm one CC... dang, i should really start the book now....</p>
<p>The summer before my junior year I had to do around 50 long definitions for APUSH, and read one book for english write and write an essay. I think you have a bit much, but they are AP classes and I probably would have had a lot of work if I was able to take that many APs.</p>
<p>I never knew summer homework was even legal until I came across this website. So I would think any at all is too much. I created any summer homework I have.</p>
