Attention incoming juniors, class of 2025! Your summer work is posted. Please feel free to see Mrs. Hernandez (Rm. 135) or Mrs. Plummer (Rm. 137) with questions before we leave for summer.
Overview of Summer Work 2023-2024
-
The summer work is designed to keep your skills honed and prepare you so that AP curriculum can begin the first day of class. The assigned text will prepare you for some of the major concepts that guide this AP course in language and composition. Consequently, to get the most out of the text, you should read it throughout the summer, not attempt to skim or cram at the very last minute. Taking notes or using the guided questions provided will help you to retain the information.
If you have questions AFTER reading all directions posted here, please contact any of the 11AP English Language and Composition teachers:
Mrs. Hernandez: robyn_hernandez@chino.k12.ca.us
Mrs. Plummer: jennifer_plummer@chino.k12.ca.us
