  • AP Composition and College Composition Students
    Reading Assignment for AP Composition and College Composition Students Over the summer, read three books of your choice from different genres: Fiction: Romance, Fantasy, comedy, epistolary, etc. Non-Fiction: Biography, historical non-fiction, short stories, etc. Because you are preparing for a "writing" course, you should answer three "writerly" questions posed by Francine Prose in her book Reading Like a Writer: #1. Why did the author use the point of view s/he did? How would the story be different if it was told from, say, 1st person perspective and not 3rd? #2. As you read, write down three great sentences--known as "purple passages." Ernest Hemingway said that an author's ambition every day is to create "one true sentence." Consequently, he "discarded unnecessary words, stripped away narrative flourishes" to create his "spare" novels. Please find a few great sentences in the works you are reading, and simply copy them down. #3. Evaluate the style. Write a complete, 150 word paragraph that evaluates the author's style. What specifically kept you interested in the story? If you were bored, why? Is there something special about the way the author writes--interesting words, wit, or wisdom? Please express your opinion and support it with insights from the book. Below are some sites with good lists and discussion groups for those books. HAVE FUN!!

An inventory was administered to 250 boys and 282 girls in regular fourth and fifth grades of Hackensack, New Jersey, public schools. Each item was read aloud as students followed and responded first to a four point (3-2-1-0) like-dislike scale and then to media choices. Interest clusters were categorized under fantasy-comedy, informational, social empathy, recreational, excitement-fantastic, excitement-realistic, and artistic. Results showed that (1)social class, not race, affects children's content interests; (2) lower SES children, especially girls, prefer fantasy significantly more than do middle or higher SES children;(3) girls like to read more than do boys;(4) lower SES children like to watch television more than do middle or, higher SES children; and (5)all children prefer watching to reading.
