AP Government Reading List

You will have to turn in one major analysis report on one book before the end of the second six weeks or the end of the fifth six weeks if taking the class during the second semester. It will be due at the end of that grading period. You will not receive the rubric for the report until the beginning of the school year or at the start of the second semester depending on which semester you will be in my class. In the meantime if you want you can start reading in the summer so you don’t have to cram your reading at the beginning of the first twelve weeks of school.

You may check some of these books out at a public library or you may buy it. It is a requirement and just like school supplies you must obtain it somehow. Some of the books, not all but some, are in our library but you will have to wait until the start of the school year for those books.

Many of these books you can obtain in paper back form at Half Price Bookstores.

Thank You

Earl Warren High School

Students enrolled in English Pre-AP and AP courses at Warren High School are required to complete the summer reading as specified by the level they will enter in August 2009.  The summer requirement offers an opportunity for enrichment.  Summer reading is an integral part of the Advanced Placement academic program and a vehicle for beginning a rich, academic program for the first days of school. Students may purchase their own books or check books out from a library.  All summer reading must be completed before school begins, and students are responsible for completing all written assignments within the first week of school.  Students are encouraged to read the text thoroughly in order to complete an in-class essay.  All written assignments will be posted on our department web page.
