Welcome!  This year's summer reading assignment is to "take a break and get lost in a good book."

More specifically, I would like you to choose something that will challenge and inspire you. Read it! And be prepared to share with the class upon returning to school. And I know you will want to make a good first impression!

To help you select a "good fit" book, here are some reading lists with suggestions for college-bound students, like you. 

These books illuminate and explore the worlds and lives around us and those far away, where we have come from and where we may be going. Use these books to broaden your horizons and deepen your understandings.

About the AP English Language and Composition Course:

 College Board Course Description

The AP English Language and Composition course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise.

Additionally, they read and analyze rhetorical elements and their effects in nonfiction texts—including images as forms of text—from a range of disciplines and historical periods.

The AP English Language and Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level rhetoric and writing curriculum.
