AP Calculus Summer Packet

AP CHEMISTRY –SUMMER COURSE ASSIGNMENTS (July/August 2020)

Summer assignments for AP Chemistry are intended to review work completed during L1 Chemistry. We will be using an online resource FlinnPrep for summer assignments this year. Assignments will be posted in “Summer 2020 AP Chemistry” Canvas course and work will be completed/ submitted digitally through Canvas or the https://www.flinnprep.com.

You will be given an access code for FlinnPrep in the early part of July when you can begin your summer work.

Resources can be found through the FlinnPrep site, but you are also encouraged to use your textbook. You will be responsible for content from parts of Chapters 1-3, 6, 7 in the textbook, though the problems will be completed online.

Concepts will be review of Atomic Structure and Properties as well as Molecular and Ionic Structure and Properties. All of this material should be review from Level 1 Chemistry- you will not be asked to learn new content on your own, just review content you have already done.

You have a formal evaluation on this information during the first week of class in the fall. Specific details will be provided on Canvas.

Summer Work
AP English

Objectives:

1. Students will read and analyze The Grapes of Wrath and Oedipus Rex in order to develop an understanding of several archetypal patterns that recur in works of literature.
2. Students will review and/or research the mythological and Biblical allusions that inform the texts studied in AP English.

Part I – Reading

The Grapes of Wrath – John Steinbeck

Oedipus Rex – Sophocles (this is the first play in The Oedipus Cycle)

You will read these works over the summer, and you will be tested on them during the first week of school. Your first essay of the school year will be on The Grapes of Wrath.

Part II – Allusion notecards

Many of the works that we study in AP utilize mythological and Biblical allusions. For each of the characters or topics listed below, create a notecard. On the front should be the name of the character or topic. On the back is a short description of the character or topic. For example, if you are doing a notecard on Achilles, the back would say:

Greek hero. Dipped in the River Styx by his mother, Thetis, who hoped to make him immortal. He fought in the Trojan War and was killed by Paris who shot him in the heel. Because Thetis held Achilles by the heel when she dipped him in the river, his heel was his one vulnerable spot.

You will be quizzed on these allusions during the first week of school.

AP European History Summer Assignment

AP French Summer Assignment

Coucou !

As we head into the summer break, I just want to ask one thing: that you use French as often as possible over the next couple of months. If you do, I think you’ll find that you will feel much more prepared when we get started next year.

In order to help you to continue thinking about French, I want you to keep a journal (en français, bien sûr). Over the course of the summer, you should write 6 detailed page-long entries in your cahier bleu journal:

 --3 of the entries should be about you—what you are doing during the summer, what you are feeling as you come closer to entering your last year of high school, what your hopes are for your future after high school…

--The other three entries should be more objective, discussing something you have done that relates to the French-speaking world. For example, you could talk about French film or TV show* you saw, a short story or book you read, a French food you tried or  recipe you made, a news story you heard...

For each entry, you should try hard to use a wide range of vocabulary and sentence structures that you have learned over the past few years. For example, if you are writing about something you did, you should be sure to use both the passé composé and the imparfait to tell your story.  Your entries will be scored using the Journal Rubric we have used in class itn the past (attached).

A word of caution: it is important that you not write this journal all at one time! You should space your entries so that you keep the language alive throughout the summer months. I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Some internet sites that you might want to explore in your temps libre :

This is the site for TV5, the French satellite channel. Try clicking on Langue française/apprendre and see where it takes you...

http://www.tv5.org/TV5Site/programmes/accueil_continent.php

This is the site for RFI Savoirs (on the Radio France Internationale website). You can find lots of listening practice on this site, including quizzes to practice your comprehension.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at lefevrem@region18.org

and passez de bonnes vacances !

Ms. Baklik’s Senior Summer Reading Requirements 2021-2022 

Seniors entering British Lit., Level One:

Please choose EITHER Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde OR Wells’s The Time Machine. You should have your selection read by the first day of class and will have an assessment that will require your knowledge of the text during the second week of classes. Here are summaries of the texts to assist you with your choice. Both are early science fiction novellas that were written in and take place in Victorian England.

·         Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a narrative about the complexities of science and the duplicity of human nature. Dr Jekyll is a kind, well-respected and intelligent scientist who meddles with the darker side of science, as he wants to bring out his 'second' nature. (From BBC.co.uk)

·         Wells advanced his social and political ideas in this narrative of a nameless Time Traveller who is hurtled into the year 802,701 by his elaborate ivory, crystal, and brass contraption. The world he finds is peopled by two races: the decadent Eloi, fluttery and useless, are dependent for food, clothing, and shelter on the simian subterranean Morlocks, who prey on them. The two races—whose names are borrowed from the biblical Eli and Moloch—symbolize Wells’s vision of the eventual result of unchecked capitalism: a neurasthenic upper class that would eventually be devoured by a proletariat driven to the depths. (From Britannica.com)

Please use the resources below in lieu of a hard copy. You may certainly purchase your own books if you’d like to, but I will have hard copies for you all to use on the first day of classes. However, you should always take notes on any book you read for class, so I would recommend that you note the chapter in which the event or quote occurs as you are annotating. That way, when you want to use the quote or event in a class activity or discussion, you have a reference point for your classmates who might not have read a version of the text with the same page numbers as the one you read. Please let me know if any of the links fail to work properly.
