Summer+Reading

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUMMER READING: Just incase you did not make it to our little meeting before school ended, I will go over what I am looking for with the summer reading. THIS IS NOT BUSY WORK! This is for your benefit to review and learn. Please keep that in mind from now until you take the AP Test. You are not doing work for me, not just to get it done, not just to get a grade. You have to make the work meaningful, useful, and somehow internalize it to use to your benefit at the end of the coming year. This is about your learning, not your creative ways of getting work in with as little thought or effort as possible. With that being said, I would like you to read, review and reread the first five chapters below. This is a great diving board into the coming year. This will set you up with some base knowledge, some of which you already have, to get the ball rolling.

Your instructions are to outline each chapter as you read them. Look at it as breaking down an essay. These are prewritten essays, you are writing the outlines the writers would have made prior to writing these documents. Learning to break lots of information into its critical core will help you greatly with organizing thoughts and turning those thoughts into meaningful prose. I look at outlines as a list of light switches. A light switch when flipped turns on a light. Topics in an outline should trigger in you information you have stored in your mind, and you should be able to further explain those topics from memory and understanding when asked to do so. I want these outlines to be bare to the core. No fluff, only critical information. Please, please, please read the material carefully. The outlines will just act as a self review of the information for you.

OUTLINE DUE DATES: Please email me your outlines as word documents or photos/scans of work if you choose to hand write them. My email is jsilva@mychawanakee.org CH 1. JULY 1st CH 2. JULY 8th CH 3. JULY 15th CH 4. JULY 22nd CH 5. JULY 29th
