What summer reading/assignments do you guys have?

<p>Mine's note too bad. I'm just NOT FOND of Oliver Twist. I have to take detailed notes on each of these books and take an exam the first week back:</p>

<p>Oliver Twist- Charles Dickens
Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte
Dante's Inferno
The Oedipus Plays of Sophocles
Othello- Shakespeare</p>

<p>ANTHEM- Ayn Rand
Ender’s Game- Orson Scott Card</p>

<p>with daily summaries & a 400-500 word essay</p>

<p>^L U C K Y.</p>

<p>I have 4 AP world assignments including 2 essays and a 7 page packet plus reading the first chapter of our textbook and writing a 2 page summary
oh and I have to do an English assignment on top of that where I make a readers response journal with a book jacket on some book I’ve never heard of (the color of water)
-___-</p>

<p>The color of water is a pretty bad book.</p>

<p>That sounds rough. :O</p>

<p>It’s just my first year, so it is light.</p>

<p>I know! I spark noted it and it sounded stupid…and you’re lucky ^ the first year is by far the easiest so enjoy it.</p>

<p>Anthem is one of the worst books ever, oh my lord. Thank God it was like 20 pages.</p>

<p>I have a packet for AP Chemistry that reviews sophomore Chemistry. I also need to memorize a couple formulas and tables. Too be honest my teacher and class that year were pretty flaky. I basically need to relearn all of it. :p</p>

<p>AP English Literature this year has no summer assignments, but last year did. I don’t really care either way-- I already passed AP English Language so as far as most UCs are concerned I can’t get any more credit.</p>

<p>CSIHSIS, I kind of liked Anthem, read it Freshman year. The ending seemed kind of rushed to me.</p>

<p>The AP Chemistry teacher gave me the old AP book to review Chem I…, no books for my English class though ;)</p>

<p>King Leopold’s Ghost- Adam Houchschild
To Kill A Mockingbird- Harper Lee
Lord of the Flies- William Golding</p>

<p>Psych: a book and 10 page paper.
Bio: textbook first 4 chapters and take home test.
Calc BC: Ti N-Spire CAS learn how to use. Optional review.
Lang: 3 books and 2 “online responses”(AKA Essays)</p>

<p>I have to read the first unit in the AP Bio textbook and do an assignment. I also have to read The Kite Runner for AP English (already have read it, but i have to annotate it grr…) and read Doctor Zhivago for AcDec (as well as the guides).</p>

<p>I have to read a book called Farm City. For COLLEGE. I thought end of high school = end of stupid summer reading. It’s about urban farming. I haven’t started but people are saying on Facebook that it’s really boring.</p>

<p>Read Angela’s Ashes and How to Read Literature Like a Professor. Then do literary analyses of them, plus Cornell notes for the second one.</p>

<p>Is that Frank McCourt? Hate his books too :stuck_out_tongue: Teacher Man was almost as bad as Anthem!</p>

<p>I have to read A Prayer for Owen Meany, Autobiography of a Face, and the Autobiography of Frederick Douglass. It’s not bad at all, most of the books look interesting actually.</p>

<p>lol i only have to do a small math packer lololololol</p>

<p>lol okay freshman lolololol calm down.</p>

<p>I…wish I had a summer assignment. Rumor had it there was going to be a Gender Studies project but they added another class, so yay! Summer assignments here are for AP’s and to weed kids out of the equivalent of APUSH.</p>

<p>So i’m doing some casual reading. I have here in front of me…Life of Pi, Persepolis (again ahuehuehue), A Game of Thrones (whee!), some random book about Mao that caught my eye at the library (I literally have no idea what it’s about), Thank You Notes From Jimmy Fallon, and of course, my copy of Memoirs of a Geisha. Solid summer literature right there.</p>

<p>Also, I read The Color of Water as an incoming freshman…the only summer assignment I ever had. I liked it.</p>

<p>Don’t even get me started on how much I liked Anthem, a little bummed by the abrupt ending but I thought it was very interesting.</p>

<p>I tried reading Memoirs of a Geisha but it was too long and slow.</p>

<p>However, I loved the movie. And I’m proud to say that when I went to Japan, I copied this scene.</p>

<p>Really? I’ll admit some parts drag a little, but I liked it. I’m such a sucker for…actually, I don’t even know. I just liked it.</p>
