Summer 2006
Dear English 12 AP Literature Student:
As summer gets into full swing and you are in need of
something “novel” to do, I’ve just the thing!
Before school begins, read A
Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.
On move-up day I will hand out a summer project related to that
novel. This project is due the first day
of school – no exceptions.
Additionally, you should read and create a reading journal for Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. The journal is due on the first day of school – no exceptions. Failing to complete these projects will dramatically affect your first marking period grade. Follow the instructions carefully for this journal. While you may or may not find this novel pleasing, it will be of great assistance to you in the study of similarly challenging literature.
Both projects should be typed and uploaded to www.turnitin.com. The class ID is 1530515 and
the password is mrsk. Create an identity
with your email address and your own password.
Keep the information as we will be using the plagiarism service all
year. Bring a hard copy of both
assignments to class on the first day.
I am looking forward to an exciting year in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition. You can expect a rigorous course of study, firm deadlines and many intrinsic rewards. Have a restful, healthy summer. See you in September.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Koenig
P.S. I occasionally
check my voice mail, extension 2319, and my email, pkoenig@glenridge.org, over
the summer. If you lose the assignment,
you will find it posted on the school website.
