AP Summer Reading Pre-Approved Book List: You will read one of these books over the summer. You may select a book that is not on this list, with Mr. Dolan’s approval. After reading your book you will write a 500 word book report. You are responsible for finding a copy of your chosen book. Many books are available for free in the school library, in your city Library or in Mr. Dolan’s classroom. You must obtain a copy of your book before the end of the school year. Failure to do so greatly increases the likelihood that you will not be able to find a copy. Let Mr. Dolan know if you need help. In addition, you will collect a copy of the textbook from the school library during finals week. You will read chapter 12 and complete the attached study guide. Your book report and the completed study guide are both due on August 23rd/26th. Additional copies of all these handout can be found on the school website. To receive full credit your book report must: 1. Clearly explain what you think is the author’s main point (what is the main message that they are trying to communicate to you). 2. Clearly explain why you think that it is the author’s main point (What proof do you have that the main point you identified is actually what the author was hoping to communicate?). 3. Include at least three relevant quotes from the text of the book (These quotes should help to support your argument that the author’s main point is in fact the main point they were trying to make). 4. Clearly state why you believe each quote supports your claim regarding the author’s main point. 5. Each quote must be followed by the page number that the quote is taken from (This is a basic form of an “in-text citation”). 6. Be at least 500 words long and clearly written.
