Ahhhh, Summer!

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. Be thoughtful, but don't make it more than it is. 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!

What's a picture of the Roman Colosseum doing on this page?

Our last trip was to England and Paris! Next summer we are going to two of the most important cradles of Western Civilization: Greece (Athens, Delphi, etc.) and Italy (Florence & Rome!). If you are interested in joining us, sign up for the trip at  http://www.explorica.com/Giddings-1059.
