AP Lang Summer Requirements Book and Paper
Strait From the Chair • On your own, do some reading (books at the library or reputable online sources) to introduce to or remind yourself of the meaning of the phrase "The American Dream." While not exactly research, this should take you longer than just a few minutes. • Read the entirety of Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men, which you can check out from the Skyline English department or find at the library or purchase for yourself. • Write a 2-3 page essay that describes what Steinbeck is saying about The American Dream through this novel. Show us that you know how to write a well-organized academic essay that takes a position and proves it through the use of textual evidence. We are far more interested in your own thoughts on the matter than your ability regurgitate someone else's. If we determine that you used Spark Notes, Cliffs Notes, Wikipedia, or some other aid, you will fail the assignment.
