SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT SPANISH 4 & AP STUDENTS Recommended Books with Reading Levels
SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT SPANISH 4 & AP STUDENTS Recommended Books with Reading Levels How can I pass the AP Spanish exam? The AP exam is a very difficult exam. Some college Spanish students would not pass the test. If you are considering taking the AP test before graduating, the single most important factor that helps students pass the exam is reading. In levels 4 and AP there is a summer reading program. In order to have a high degree of success, you will need to read in Spanish this summer. The students who have read during the summer have returned in the fall without having lost any of their Spanish. Most students who have scored a 4 or 5 on the AP have stated that they read 2-3 novels in Spanish during the summer. The Summer Spanish Reading Program for students that are registered for Spanish IV & AP Spanish classes aims to strengthen reading skills and comprehension. Additional benefits will include: Higher scores on important standardized tests (like ACT, SAT and AP) A broader knowledge of literature in general Bonus points added to Spanish grades of participants for extra reading Required Reading for Spanish 4 & AP Spanish: All Spanish 4 & AP students MUST read at least two novels in Spanish during the summer. *********************************************************************** Remember, pick something that you: 1) Will enjoy reading, and... 2) Can read without looking up too many words. Which is just another way of saying “Interesting & comprehensible” that you have so often heard. Write a short reaction in Spanish (1-2 pages) to what you have read and be prepared to talk about it when you return.

Fred E. Woods, Steven C. Harper, Andrew H. Hedges, Patty A. Smith, and Thomas R. Valletta, Preface to Prelude to the Restoration: From Apostasy to the Restored Church (Provo, UT and Salt Lake City: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University and Deseret Book, 2004). Preface In years past the Sperry Symposium has provided speakers and hearers, authors and readers a valued opportunity to engage one of the standard works of Latter’day Saint scripture. That esteemed tradition has been expanded recently to include reflections on the Church in the twentieth century. This volume looks forward to the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Joseph Smith in 2005 by looking back to some of the events, processes, people, and ideas that set the stage for the marvelous Restoration begun by the Prophet. Latter-day Saints acknowledge the hand of the Almighty in shaping history. Unsurprisingly, then, as the distinguished historian Gordon S. Wood wrote, the Restoration “appeared at precisely the right moment in American history” (“Evangelical America and Early Mormonism,” New York History, October 1980, 381). One might add that, in anticipation of the Restoration, America appeared at precisely the right moment in world history. Indeed, because of the Restoration we know that the earth itself appeared in its proper time and season. This volume provides glimpses into the complicated choreography of history by which the world became ready for Joseph Smith and the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. The complex processes at work between the Apostasy and the Restoration do not lend themselves to reduction or simplification, and this volume cannot impose unwarranted order on the chaos.

Penguin Random House Australia
9 December 2015 Penguin Random House response to the Productivity Commission Inquiry into Intellectual Property Arrangements We are pleased to submit our response to the Productivity Commission Issues Paper, October 2015 (the Issues Paper). We understand that the Australian Government has made some preliminary recommendations in its response to the Harper review regarding the retention or otherwise of parallel importation restrictions in Australia. Prior to the Australian Government committing any such decisions to legislation we ask that the Commission highlight the issues raised in this submission with the Australian Government. We provide this submission in response to the specific question: Do existing restrictions on parallel imports still fulfil their intended goals in the digital era? We frame our response adopting the framework outlined in the Issues Paper, namely through a consideration of effectiveness, efficiency, adaptability and accountability. We acknowledge and support the draft submissions of Oxford University Press, the Australian Copyright Council and the Australian Publishers Association in response to other matters raised in the Issues Paper. The publishing industry- innovation, investment and creativity We support the Australian Government’s stated policy aims as outlined in the Issues Paper of wanting to ensure that the intellectual property system provides appropriate incentives for innovation, investment and the production of creative works while ensuring it does not unreasonably impede further innovation, competition, investment and access to goods and services. The Australian publishing industry has a long history of fostering diversity and the long term interests of consumers, the encouragement of efficient investment, innovation and entrepreneurship. We want to ensure that Australian consumers receive access to the best possible content at the best possible prices.
