AP Language & Honors American Literature
Mrs. Chandler’s Summer Reading Assignments
2014-2015
Dear AP Language and Honors American Literature student:
Welcome to your 11th grade AP Language course. AP Language is a rigorous course designed to prepare
students for the nationally administered Advanced Placement exam (Spring 2015). This course is a one-year study in
American literature, nonfiction, writing, and research, with our study of American Literature presented
chronologically. A major emphasis for this year will be the evaluation of student response to literature and nonfiction
texts as demonstrated in classroom discussion, written expression, and oral presentation.
It is my hope that these summer reading assignments will begin a rewarding study of language and literature
(fiction, nonfiction, biography, and drama) and provide the beginnings of a solid foundation of literature and analysis
to prepare you for the AP exam.
The first two assignments will be due during the first week of class.
Please note: While it is not required that you purchase the following texts in hard form, I believe it would make
reading and annotating a much easier process.
Using an e-book (Kindle, Nook, etc.) is fine, but you must have access to the text when necessary in the
classroom; in other words, you must be willing to bring those devices to class at your own risk.
Amazon and half.com sell new and used books, as do Goodwill and 2nd & Charles near Town Center Mall.
Part I: Arthur Miller's play The Crucible
1. Before you read this play, write a brief definition or exploration of the following terms:
-crucible
-witch hunt
-Salem Witch Trails
-McCarthyism
2. As you read this play, find at least one strong piece of textual evidence which speaks to each of the following
themes:
-human cruelty in the name of righteousness
-the individual and the community
-justice v. retribution and revenge
-godliness v. worldliness
-ignorance v. wisdom
-the Puritan myth
-order v. individual freedom
You may highlight and annotate the evidence directly in the text if the copy is your own. Otherwise, use post-it
notes or paper.
3. When you return to school, you will be completing a character study on the characters of The Crucible. Pay
particular attention to each of the following 10 characters: Reverend Samuel Parris, Betty Parris, Abigail Williams,
Tituba, Mrs. Ann Putnam, Thomas Putnam, John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Rebecca Nurse, and Reverend John Hale.
A brief description of each of these characters, including significant quotes and/or moments of characterization, will be
helpful for you in your future assignments.
Part II: Personal Selection
Can you smell the freedom? Select one text from the list below.
A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace
Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
1. You will be ceaselessly grateful to yourself for annotating whichever text you pick. Interact with the text as you
read: What strikes you? What's the argument? Why did the author do that thing s/he just did?
2. You will have an additional in-class assignment pertaining to this text to complete upon your return. Prepare
yourself for a written and/or oral assignment by completing the following items (#3 and #4).
3. Top Five Vocabulary Words
Select five examples of interesting diction in the text. For each word:
1. Write the sentence, complete with page number citation in MLA format.
2. Define the word. Some words have multiple definitions. Be sure to write down the definition that
applies to the sentence you have selected.
3. Discuss how the use of this word (in the context of the text) impacts the reader in a specific way. Pay
particular attention to words with a specific connotation.
4. Use this word in your own sentence.
4. Top Five Passages
Select the five most influential passages that illustrate interesting arguments in the text. For each passage:
1. Write the sentence (or sentences), complete with page number citation in MLA format.
2. Discuss the use of this sentence or sentences in the context of the text. Why did you select this
passage? How does a thorough understanding of this passage play an important role in understanding
the author’s purpose with this text?
3. Label the tone of this passage. How does the author use specific strategies to create this tone?

III: Getting

Head
Start
I would highly suggest picking up a copy of the following two texts, which are novels we will study later in the
semester. If you would like to get a head start on the reading, I welcome your enthusiasm!
Into the Wild by Jon Krakaeur
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother by James McBride
A Final Note
Please be aware that you are taking two courses: Honors American Literature and AP Language. These two courses
culminate with the American Literature EOCT and the AP Language test.
Please take into consideration the vast amount of material you will be reading and assessing during the course of the
year, and prepare yourself accordingly. If it is your intention to skirt the work by reading summaries, watching movies,
and abusing grade-saver websites rather than experiencing each text fully, for yourself, and from your own
perspective, I would reconsider the decision to take an Advanced Placement course.

SUMMER READING LIST
JOHN MCEACHERN HIGH SCHOOL
12th Grade Honors British Literature and Composition
2014-2015
All rising Honors British Literature students will do two summer readings.
You may find all books in the library or you may purchase them, new or used, from a bookstore or on-line.
Furthermore, many of these titles are available in the book room. It is best to purchase the novel you choose: It not only
allows you to annotate extensively in the margins, but also you will need a copy of the “Choice” novel through first
semester, as we will continue to work with it. If you use an e-book version of the novel, you must keep a detailed
reader’s journal for the assignment. Both novels will be assessed in writing at the beginning of the school year.
Mandatory Reading:
1984 by George Orwell
Read and thoroughly annotate this novel. See the guidelines below, “Annotating the Novel,” for detailed instructions.
Choice: Read and thoroughly annotate one novel. See the guidelines below, “Annotating the Novel,” for detailed
instructions. Choose one from the following list:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
A Room with a View by E. M. Forester
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Annotating the Novel
In order to write a knowledgeable paper, you need to “know” your book. Simply to have read it won’t provide you the
insight necessary for an exemplary paper. This next step requires that you go back and make notations you feel are
important for the actual writing of the paper. If you have purchased your book, write directly in it, but if you borrow the
book, you will need to keep a journal and/or to use post-it notes.
Assignment:

Inside the front cover: Character list with small space for character summary and for page references of
key scenes, moments of character development, etc.

Inside the back cover: Themes, allusions, images, motifs, symbols, key scenes, significant aspects to the
plot line, epiphanies, etc. Use Internet sources to help you initially compile a list, and then add to it as your
read.

Underlining / Bracketing and Post-it notes:
o Flag pages with key aspects of the novel. Write a word or phrase at the top of the Post-it so that you can
quickly reference the passage.
o Underline examples, lines, or passages that you feel are significant in the novel.
o Use brackets for long passages too long to underline.
o Jot a quick summary at the beginning of each chapter.
Grading:
There is no need to write on every page; however, the more notations you make, the easier the gathering of
information will be. Grades will be based on thoroughness, clarity, neatness, and apparent effort. You must
make VERY clear that you have spent time learning this novel.
