Overview
Incoming
AP
Literature
students
are
required
to

the
summer
in

course

subsequent
AP
exam.
One
portion
of
the
AP
exam,
the
Free
Response
essay,
demands
that
students
have
a
wide
range
of
challenging
literary
works
on
which
they
can
draw
when
writing
that
essay.
The
goal
of
this
summers
reading,
however,
is
not
to
prepare
you
for
the
exam
but
to
initiate
you
into
the
conversation
about
ideas
through
books
by
both
contemporary
and
classic
authors.
AP
Literature
is
college
literature;
it
not
simply
preparation
for
college.
If
you
are
looking
for
ways
around
this
reading
assignment,
you
should
not
enroll
in
this
class.

do
not
complete
the
summer
readingall
of
it,

take
the
course.

Dialectical
Reader-Response
Journal
As
you
read,
keep
a
reading
log
in
which
you
discuss
the
ideas
in
the
selected
work.
In
this
way
you
will
begin
to
connect
these
ideas
to
your
own
experience.
As
you
reflect
and
question,
listen
carefully
to
your
thoughts
and
attempt
to
describe
the
effect
the
book
is
having
on
you.
Write
honestly,
respond
deeply,
admit
confusion,
expand
on
authors
ideas,
and
attempt
to
discover
your
own.
