book) of the templates over the next nine (9) pages: click here.

Type out your responses and have the completed

assignment prepared to turn in the first week of school. This

assignment is meant to help you analyze the text – similar to

textual annotation – AND prepare you to write about your

selected passages for upcoming assessments. Keep track of

which passages you wrote about. Please make sure the work is

your own.

This summer reading work is a supportive assignment for the

first semester, which means there is no credit given for it.

However, students are permitted to use these notes for the

summer reading assessment. The summer reading assessment

will be administered in class during the first weeks of school.

Note: No particular edition is required for either text. You may

read the abridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo.

However, if you're looking for an extra challenge, you can choose

the unabridged version.

Introduction to the Novel: The Catcher in the Rye is an example of

a bildungsroman: a novel about the moral and psychological

growth of the main character transitioning into adulthood. It is the

story of Holden Caulfield, an unstable 16-year-old boy, who has

just been expelled from prep school and sets off to explore NYC

before returning home. Confused and disillusioned, he searches

for truth and rails against the “phoniness” of the adult world. He

ends up exhausted and emotionally ill, in a psychiatrist’s office. The

events are related after his recovery. (Sourced from britannica.com)

Introduction: We all know someone who struggles with a personal challenge,

whether it is physical/medical, emotional, mental, social, a learning

disability, or otherwise. Each of these individuals is a fighter, a survivor,

a role model, and an inspiration in his/her own way.

As a prelude to this unit and as a pathway towards an eventual topic

for one of your Junior Research Essays, we highly recommendreading Morrie Schwartz’s autobiography, Morrie: In His Own

Words: Life Wisdom from a Remarkable Man. You will be introduced

to beloved college professor, Morrie Schwartz, while he bravely battles

ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease. Throughout the course of the novel, he

shares his final lesson: “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to

live.”

In a paragraph (3-5 full, complex sentences each), reflect upon

what that aphorism means to you and to an individual whom

you consider inspirational. What lessons do you appreciate

from these short, wise sayings?

Objectives and Directions:

During the first week of school, we will complete a class

brainstorming activity and a Google Slides presentation about this

novel. While reading, please take notes on the following pointsof interest:

In class, we will also read Mitch Albom’s moving memoir,

Tuesdays with Morrie. This novel will add an extra layer to your

understanding of Morrie and his struggles, while also providing

some inspiration we all need to get through difficult days. We

absolutely LOVE these books, and we can not wait for you to

share your thoughts with us.

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

Atonement by Ian McEwan

Titles are chosen to help us answer one of our essential questions:

what are some major differences between 19th and 20th centuryBritish novels, and what do these differences indicate? As youcomplete the required reading, pay particular attention tonarrator, plot/structure, character development and theme. Wewill, of course, discuss and analyze the work thoroughly together

when school begins.

After the start of school, we will read together:

The Big Picture: Why Read?Philip Roth, a prolific 20th century American novelist, predicted in a

2009 interview that in 25 years, the novel will be a thing of the past.

He states:

To read a novel requires a certain amount of concentration, focus,

devotion to the reading. If you read a novel in more than two weeks, you

don't ready the novel, really. So I think that kind of concentration and

focus and attentiveness is hard to come by--it's hard to find huge numbers

of people... who have these qualities.

The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy


http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/143

This mean only you can take a stand and help save the novel!

Actually, it may be more apt to say that you must take a seat to help

save the novel: your favorite seat! A seat that is comfortable, but

not so comfortable that you doze off. A seat that is away from the

bustle of the house...away from the lure of your cell phones and

other electronic devices... a way to sit down and thoroughly

immerse yourself, worry free, in your reading.

We will spend some time in the first days of school processing,

analyzing, discussing and writing about Hardy's The Mayor of

Casterbridge, so real reading rather than fake reading will ensureyour success! Plan ahead so that you avoid the temptation to let

Sparknotes do your reading and thinking for you! You know

yourself well enough to decide how much and what kind of note-

taking (if any) to do alongside your first read-through, but your

guiding principle MUST be to pay attention to WHAT the author

says, HOW and WHY (s)he says it, and HOW and WHY you think

the way you do about the book. Simple as that--don't worry about

impressing yourself or anyone else with fancy literary language...

yet!

Note: If you are reading this, chances are you are taking more than

one AP class, and you will have other significant demands on your

summer time. Plan ahead. Use a calendar to sketch out your plan,and stick to it. Email us over the summer if you have questions or

simply want to share some insights.

Look up unfamiliar vocabulary. If you don't understand the

vocabulary used in a work of literature, you are more likely to

miss the essential meaning and the author's purpose. Many

words have multiple meanings/nuances of meaning, and

understanding them will enrich your experience.

Look up allusions that are prerequisite to finding full valuein an AP Literature curriculum. Familiarity with the references

below will help you in your enjoyment and understanding of

the literature we will study throughout the year. Give the

following terms and tales a quick "Google" if they seem "Greek"

to you!Biblical:

Creation of Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:1-24)

The Fall of Man (Genesis 2:8, 22-25; Genesis 3)

RationalePart of the human condition is personal growth. Growth often means

that one struggles with a personal challenge often caused by

circumstances outside of one’s control. Perseverance is often

associated with the transition between childhood and adulthood.

The summer reading selections are examples of coming of age

literature. We will use your summer reading choice to instruct/review

key elements to literary analysis.

It is essential that you read thoroughly and take notes on essential

elements of literary analysis. Notes should be completed
