  • 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.

  • AP Literature and Composition 2020 Summer Reading Assignment
    Dr. Doyle AP Literature and Composition AP Literature and Composition 2020 Summer Reading Assignment DIRECTIONS #1 Readings You will read TWO books of your choice from the lists below, a classic title and a modern ​ ​ title. One of your choices must be selected from the first list of classics that contains some of the most frequently referenced books on the AP Literature exam between 1970-2011. Your second choice must be a modern novel of literary merit. List 2 contains the winners of the Booker Prize and the Pulitzer Prize from the last 20 years. CHOOSE ONE TITLE ​ ​ ​ FROM EACH LIST. You can either borrow books from your local library, download ​ ​ ​ e-books to a device, or purchase your own hard copies to annotate in directly. How to select a book that you will enjoy from the lists below: Do not select a book at random. Although all of these titles are meritorious and significant reads, some of them you will obviously enjoy more than others based on your distinct literary tastes. If you don’t like war stories, don’t pick a war story. You can base your selection on authors that you are familiar with, on researching some of the titles that sound interesting to you, and on recommendations from friends/family that may have read these books before. #2 Dialectical Journal You will complete THREE dialectical journal entries for each book you read (that means ​ ​ SIX entries total: 3 for the classic title + 3 for the modern title = 6 journal entries total). A ​ dialectical journal is a written conversation with yourself about a piece of literature that encourages the habit of reflective questioning.
