If you have a chance, start going through these lessons. At the very least, you can take some of these quizzes, and start to identify your strengths and weaknesses. If you have any issue or topic concerning the summer assignment that you would like to bring up to the entire class, use this as your forum. AP Literature and Composition To the student: Format: -Insert your work on your practice exam, plus your additional essay, in a pocket folder and deliver it to my school mailbox. -Your essay should include a title page with title of novel centered on page, and name, class, and date in the lower right hand corner. -Essays should be typed using Times New Roman size 12 font and double spaced. -The novel essay should include specific page references for support that you noted as you read. If you have questions about the assignment, contact my school email (pmuldowney@gananda.org) and I will respond to you. (I do not expect questions the night before the essays are due. Manage your time so that you can thoroughly read each work and allow time to revise the essay before you turn it in.) I will also set up a summer blog at muldowney.edublogs.org, in case you want to post any questions or discussion topics based on the assignment. 9th Grade Book Project IF READING ALONE Due Dates **You will also be creating a presentation for class.
