~AP'ers...get ahead!~

Hello AP students. I hope the summer is going well for you and that you are enjoying both of the amazing novels you've been assigned to read this summer. First of all, this is my blog that I use to post extra credit, class thoughts & ideas, and other random things that I think will help shape you into wonderful adults ;) So, for your first extra credit opportunity...(i know, i know, you're probably thinking "...man, this lady is hella crazy; we have summer work and now she's givin us more work!")...well, even if I am crazy, a little extra credit is good for your soul.

So if you are so inclined, here is the extra credit assignment. Due the first day of class with your summer reading assignment.

Choose a character in either, The Color of Water or Huck Finn. Write a 5 paragraph essay in which you discuss the ways this character changes/develops as the novel progresses, conflicts that this character has (internal and external), this characters' role in developing the novel's plot, and finally, any major lessons learned by this character (include your analysis in this last part).

Email me with questions, thoughts, concerns, ideas...etc. englishis4everyone@gmail.com.

Best,
Ms. Mack
