<p>For AP English, I have to read Jane Eyre, Crime and Punishment, and a book of our choice and write essays on all of them. Compared to some of you guys, I’m now very happy with my summer homework.</p>
<p>As a Rising Sophomore:</p>
<p>For English:
Oedipus</p>
<p>For AP World History:
Reading and Questions from a packet, a Map. We’re lucky, that same instructor is giving her APUSH students a test on Day 2.</p>
<p>For Math:
Doing all of Precalculus</p>
<p>Math: Finish a lengthy packet; review Calc materials
English: Finish “The Tempest Tales” and another book (I can’t remember what it’s called; I’ll ask my classmates)
Physics: Finish a lengthy packet covering roughly the first two chapters of the book (it says it will be graded harshly, but it’s really vague as to which problems I actually have to DO)</p>
<p>I haven’t started any of it except reviewing Calc.</p>
<p>-Read Pride and Prejudice, write a 3-5page (forgot how long) essay about the humor in the book, and study the book as we will be tested on it during the first week(s) of school. Oh and Cnotes
-Read 5 of the 13 Great American Arguments and write a five page paper analyzing them. Oh and again Cnotes
-Read 7 chapters out of AP Bio test book, while completeing study guide and be prepared to take a test over it during first week of school.
-I was suppose to have some type of Latin summer reading but he never sent it out.</p>
<p>For AP US Gov I have to write an essay for a scholarship and define 100 key terms and for AP English 12 I have to read The Woman Warrior, The Road, and Set This House on Fire. I feel exceptionally lucky!!</p>
<p>East of Eden. Completely annotated.</p>
<p>I haven’t even opened it…lawl
looks like I’ll be screwed the last week of summer again ahaahahahaha <em>sobs</em></p>
<p>I had to read Anthem as a freshman in high school, and I think I was the only one in my class that actually liked it. Then again, some people in my class were from a Catholic private school and didn’t like it because Ayn Rand is atheist.</p>
<p>Wow. It might take a while just listing these…
On top of college applications to about twelve different schools in the UK/US, SAT I and two SAT II’s, I’ve got:
three books for summer reading - English HL
Internal Assessment research papers to do for: Geography HL, Math SL and Biology SL
100 hours of CAS (community service I’ve got to do) as well as a completed CAS portfolio showcasing proof of everything I’ve done for CAS in the summer
My Extended Essay on Paradise Lost, one of the hardest books I’ve ever read
and
revision for mocks that are coming up when the next term starts. (My mocks are important because they’re used as my prediction grades for college.)
It’s looking to be one tough summer … I keep telling myself it’ll be worth it -_-</p>
<p>PS: I do the IB, just in case I didnt throw that in my little rant</p>
<p>Surprisingly, I only have AP Lit this summer. I have to read Catcher in the Rye and write stuff about it, I had to write a response to two poems about Eros, and then I have to choose a book from a list my teacher gave us and we have to write our thoughts about it. We also have to read How to Read Literature Like a Professor.</p>
<p>It’s alright. Better than last summer, that’s for sure.</p>
<p>Ughh I have to read “The Things they carried” and “The bluest eyes” for AP English Lit and I haven’t even started reading.</p>
<p>And probably not gonna have time to read them until ending of July. Ugh…</p>
<p>I’ve decided to take the ‘Rory Gilmore reading challenge’ (Minus any horror I’ve got a weak stomach)
It’s like 200 books most are classics I think it’ll be fun.
So my goal is to read them all be the time I graduate <3</p>
<p>@sparklycookies: Don’t let the length scare you. It’s 600 pages, but it’s very good. I finished it last week and really loved the book.</p>
<p>I’ve got East of Eden and The Kite Runner to read for junior AP (idk if it’s lit or language). Annotations aren’t required but I’m making some notes in my book.</p>
<p>Honors English: The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka - with detailed notes for in class essay
In the time of Butterflies by Julia Alvarez
One free book with a small write up(probably Kite runner)
BC calculus: 100 problem packet for review due on first day=first test
AP Chem: Review Chem
AP physics: read on the electrodynamics of moving bodies</p>
<p>AP Lit:
How to Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas Foster

<p>We have to keep a reading log, I think but no assignment as of yet…</p>

<p>Progress

AP E: 1/4 through the book, no questions done, one current event done, havent looked at map</p>
<p>APUSH: Read first 3 chapters of the Amsco book thing an create chapter reviews.
AP Chem: Packet of questions reviewing honors chemistry.
And that’s it. None for AP Lit which is surprising or any of my other 3 ap classes.</p>
<p>And Then There Were None!
I am SOOOOO happy! I am in love with that book and it is the first summer reading that I ever enjoyed!</p>
<p>For AP History I have to read 150 pages of our textbook…</p>
<p>Lit - 2 required works (In a Different Voice, The Bluest Eye) and 2 nonfiction books chosen off of a list of authors (I chose Woolf’s Three Guineas and Orwell’s The Road to Wigan Pier).</p>
<p>Govt - a chapter of reading in the textbook and an essay about the upcoming election. Not a bad assignment at all, really.</p>
<p>Physics C Mechanics - this packet with 7 old APB FRQs. again, not cumbersome.</p>
<p>AP Lit:
Read 1) My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok, 2) The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, 3) Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, and 4) Candide by Voltaire.
Write seven-page reflective paper on all four books.</p>
<p>AP Chem:
“Recommended” studying! (In other words, mandatory studying. Yay!)</p>
<p>^ "Recommended in right indeed! I was the only one from the future fall class of AP Chemistry to ask for summer work, because in the old syllabus from 2010, it said that the teacher will give summer assignments, so I asked about it lol. So the teacher gave me the old AP Chemistry book, CHEMISTRY - The Central Science, Ninth Edition: For Advanced High School Chemistry. She said that she likes that book better than the ones she assign her students, CHEMISTRY - The Central Science, 11th AP Edition. I haven’t touched my book to be honest, she said that it’s good to review because she’s going through the Honors Chemistry curriculum in 3 (or 5, not sure) days.</p>
