    Dear Soon-To-Be Fifth Grade Families

    Dear Soon-To-Be Fifth Grade Families, Middle School is a wonderful time and we hope that you are as excited about being in the fifth grade as we are about you joining the middle school community. Your time at the “Hollow” will be full of new experiences. It is a time for students to become increasingly independent, to grow, and most of all to learn. We would like to start the new school year by getting to know you better. In order to do that, we are asking you to compare yourself to a character in your summer reading book. Many times we read a book and feel that the main characters are very much like we are - they may act the same way, do similar things, or have the same feelings as you. If the reader admires the characters, the reader may want to act like the characters or may imagine living his/her life in a similar. On the other hand, sometimes we may feel as if the main characters are very different from us. If this is the case, we may feel that the main characters are acting in a way that we could never act, and we may even disapprove of their choices. ASSIGNMENT: Use the main character(s) in your summer reading book to introduce yourself to your teachers and fellow classmates. You will do this by comparing yourself to the character(s) in the book. This a short writing piece using examples from the book and from your own life to compare/contrast yourself to a main character in the book, showing how you are alike or different.

    The Unforgettable, Heartbreaking Story of the Unlikely Friendship Between A

    Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition: Summer Reading In keeping with the philosophy that each individual should be trained to the fullest realization of his/her capacities, the Advanced Placement English program enables interested students to realize their potential. AP Literature and Composition is designed to give the student experience in reading closely, thinking precisely, and writing analytically. Not only will we analyze craft and develop an appreciation of the beauty of language (celebrating how authors use words to create art), we will also use literature as a tool to analyze human nature and gain a deeper understanding of the world. We may not always have the opportunity to travel and discover exciting new places, and there are times in life when we struggle to find a reflection of ourselves in another, but literature allows us to connect, to discover, and to grow. To begin this exciting quest, I would like you to read The Kite Runner and a book of choice. I believe in the importance of creating both shared literary experiences and also providing choice, in seeking a curriculum that is meaningful, challenging, and relevant. It is my hope that we will push each other to reach our potential while being supportive and compassionate. I look forward to reading the many stories you will share and write in our course. I look forward to hearing your voice. Thank you for joining our AP Literature learning community. The Kite Runner – Khaled Hosseini “The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction.
  • Addition to Summer Letter

    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.

The America Edition’s Cover SAINT-EXUPÉRY, Antoine de (1900-44). An adventurous pilot and a lyrical poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry conveyed in his books the solitude and mystic grandeur of the early days of flight. He described dangerous adventures in the skies and also wrote the whimsical children's fable 'The Little Prince'. Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupéry was born on June 29, 1900, in Lyon, France. In the 1920s he helped establish airmail routes overseas. During World War II he flew as a military reconnaissance pilot. After the Germans occupied France in 1940, he escaped to the United States. He rejoined the air force in North Africa in 1943. During what was to have been his final reconnaissance mission over the Mediterranean Sea, he died when his plane was shot down on July 31, 1944. Saint-Exupery's first book, 'Southern Mail', was about the life and death of an airmail pilot. It was published in French in 1929. Other books include 'Night Flight' (1931), about the first airline pilots, and 'Wind, Sand, and Stars' (1939), in which he describes his feelings during flights over the desert.
