“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.” --Ray Bradbury
Summer Assignment
Memoir: The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
To DO:
- Read the book, NOT ONLINE SOURCES ABOUT THE BOOK!
- Literary Analysis Handouts for the book (see below, in Word or GoogleDoc format)
- Note: There are three pages to fill out. There are "help" sheets with examples and extra ideas also on website, so check them out. You may ONLY handwrite the answers—no typed answers accepted. Do NOT use information found on Sparknotes or other online sources to complete data sheets. You will be graded on the originality of your answers.
- Please, please, please do not try and read the book once school has started. Start early--during the summer! The first exam and an essay will be on the summer reading.
- There will be no annotations due.
Due Dates:
Monday, September 14: The Literary Analysis Handouts for The Glass Castle are due.
Friday, September 18: In-class essay

AP CLASSES
| AP COMPUTER SCIENCE |
There is no specific Summer Assignment, but it is highly recommended that you sharpen your typing skills. All we do is code, and you have to type all of that manually. No cool software does that magically for you. Beyond just knowing how to type letters, make yourself familiar with a few special characters like:
{ } [ ] ( ) - + = | * %Other than that, get out and enjoy your summer. Don't be the kind of computer scientist that just sits inside and codes all the time...
