Summer Assignments

Right now, you are a blank slate to me as a person and a student. I don't know a single thing about you. You could be a hard worker, someone who tends to procrastinate, or someone who knows they don't work to their full potential in class. Failure to complete summer assignments immediately gives your teachers a bad impression of your work ethic as a student. On the very first day I already have an impression of you as a student who is unwilling to complete the work necessary to be successful in an Advanced Placement class. Don't let that happen. Start with a positive impression by completing your summer assignments thoroughly and on time. Don't let that blank slate be ruined by poor choices this summer.

There are THREE summer assignments. All of these assignments will be turned in to me COMPLETE on the first day of class.

  • Autobiographical Long-Essay-Question (LEQ)
    • Both the outline linked above AND your essay should be turned in together
