Ahhhhhh Summer!

Please remember there will be a quiz on the rhetorical vocab this Friday!

Welcome to AP English Language and Composition!

We have a summer assignment. Don't worry; it's not too onerous. It's a little reading, a little thinking, and a little writing. Follow the link above for instructions and materials. Have a wonderful summer and I'll see you on September 3rd!

If you have questions, please feel free to email me!


NOTE: The summer assignment link sends you to a folder with pdf files hosted by Google Drive. You can view them in your browser, but I strongly suggest downloading the Huck Finn articles to your computer and either printing them or opening them from your computer. The browser interface won't allow you to rotate the articles (they are scanned from a book and are flipped on their side). One student told me she had a hard time reading them as it was uncomfortable to turn her head. ;) You have other options!

Isn't that bridge in the picture below in London? Why yes it is!

Some of you are signed up to travel to Europe in the summer of 2014. We are going to England (London, Stratford, Oxford, Bath, Stonehenge)...and Paris. If you are interested in joining us, check out the trip at http://www.explorica.com/Giddings-3875.

AP Grading

Have a good week everyone.  My second folder of essay packets I thought might have been yours.  The first one seemed a lot like Michael and the second one seemed like Courtney.  Crazy. Who knows if it was or not,  but it was kinda weird.

Enjoy Gatsby and your late arrivals!
