  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

This page- turning novel with its in-the-news presence, believable characters and excellent reviews was overshadowed by a public conversation about whether the author practiced cultural appropriation by writing a story which might have been have been best told by a writer who is Latinx. Multicultural Fiction. 400 pages The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson Kentucky during the Depression is the setting of this appealing historical fiction title about the federally funded pack-horse librarians who delivered books to poverty-stricken people living in the back woods of the Appalachian Mountains. Librarian Cussy Mary Carter is a 19-year-old who lives in Troublesome Creek, Kentucky with her father and must contend not only with riding a mule in treacherous terrain to deliver books, but also with the discrimination she suffers because she has blue skin, the result of a rare genetic condition. Both personable and dedicated, Cussy is a sympathetic character and the hardships that she and the others suffer in rural Kentucky will keep readers engaged.

  • AP English Literature Summer Reading Assignment
    AP English Literature Summer Reading Assignment Welcome to AP English Literature! I am looking forward to exploring some interesting reads along with you next year. One of the things which will benefit you on next year’s AP exam is having a wide range of reading in your background along with an understanding of the common symbols and patterns that authors use to create meaning in their works. In order to prepare you for the types of writing, discussion and analysis which we will have next year, please complete the following project before returning to school next year. The assignment should be completed before the first week of school. Please be familiar enough with the material that you are comfortable discussing and writing about it. Get ready for an awesome year! Have a Great Summer, Mr. Sherman The Assignment: 1. Purchase, read, and annotate How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster. As you take notes, you will want to focus on the meanings of each device as well as its origins. The better your notes are, the easier it will be to review the focus of each chapter when using it during the school year. 2. Next, select a novel “of merit” which has been published in the last 10-15 years. Consider the AP’s standards and goals (listed below) for reading which is “both wide and deep.” You will want to stay away from books which are considered “teen reads” or “brain candy.” Be able to justify your choice of novel. This should be a book which both stimulates your thinking and models skillful writing.

  • MVRHS Honors English 11 Summer Reading Assignment 2019 Please
    MVRHS Honors English 11 Summer Reading Assignment 2019 Please read these instructions carefully and thoroughly. It is crucial that you follow them exactly to start off your time in Honors 11 on a successful path. As students in Honors English, I expect you are already reading all the time. For that reason, and the fact that it is summer, I want to leave some of the choice of what you read this summer up to you – within some particular parameters to ensure that everyone selects a book with literary merit. Novels and books of literary merit are often identified by scholars and writers who use myriad criteria by which to judge whether a book is notable in some way. These people consider aspects like the style and quality of writing, the nature of the topic and themes, and the originality of the work. One way to determine whether a book has literary merit is whether it has won an award, so your summer reading book choice must be a book that has won a prestigious award. In order to avoid confusion and to help you choose a book of literary merit, you must choose a book from the provided list. There are a range of choices (fiction and non-fiction) and subjects. To reiterate: you must read a book from the provided list and from that list only. Needless to say, you should choose a book that is not one you have read previously for any reason. You are encouraged to research summaries/book reviews of potential choices to ensure that it is a book that interests you.
