1 AP English Literature and Composition Reading Assignment Summer 2016 This summer you will be reading Yann Martel s novel Life of Pi and Henrik Ibsen s play A Doll s House. Life of Pi is available free online at You may acquire a copy of Life of Pi if you wish or consider checking it out of the library or visiting local used book stores. Whichever option you choose, get the book early in the summer so you have plenty of time to read and complete the assignment. Also, you may want to bring a copy of Life of Pi to class during the first two weeks of school when we will spend time in discussion. The journal entries for Life of Pi will be due throughout the summer as posts on Edmodo. There will be deadlines for each journal entry/post. It is your responsibility to keep up with these throughout the summer. A Doll s House is available online at Choose Read on the left and then narrow down the search to Drama, then Henrik Ibsen which will take you to an online copy of the entire play. You might want to buy a copy of the play, but this is not necessary as long as you included cited quotes in your preparation for the Socratic seminar. The Socratic seminar will take place the second week of school. Be ready. Grading: The Life of Pi Reader Response Journal posts will be worth a combined 200 points, counting as a major assignment grade. The A Doll s House Socratic seminar is worth 100 points, counting as a major assignment grade. The Major Works Data Sheet and the Essay are also worth 100 points each. Doing well on these assignments will go a long way toward helping you earn a good grade for the 1 st 9 weeks, which is important for your college applications. A note on the quality of your work: One observation from AP test readers is that students are not able to wrestle with complex texts. I am not so sure that the ability is lacking. Rather, it is the desire or the willingness to read difficult texts and think deeply about them that is sometimes missing. It does require discipline to train yourself to read complex texts, but worth it, not only for the AP tests, but also for college and beyond. Assignments- The Life of Pi Reader Response Journal is attached to this document. 1. Online Summer posts on Edmodo To join your class group follow these steps: a. Click on "I'm a student" b.

There will also be a digital one on Edmodo if you choose to type it. Information for the MWDS includes the following information. A. Title of work and author, Genre (play, novel, nonfiction text); sub-genre, (example, not just play for Henry V, but history play). B. Historical context, such as the year published, the literary period, any historical or literary connections worth noting C. Brief plot summary- In YOUR OWN WORDS D. Author s Style and examples E. Key themes: main three with an explanation of how the author illustrates theme (Remember theme is a message, not a one word idea.) F. Significant literary elements, such as symbols, motifs, allegory, allusions, special structure, point of view, etc. Do not just say the book has a lot of symbols, list some and describe them. You should have at least five different elements. 3. Socratic Seminar Guidelines - A Doll s House While you read this play, take notes. During the second week of school, you will participate in a Socratic Seminar. A Socratic Seminar is a student led discussion during which you discuss the text. I would advise that you write out answer to at least five of the questions below and cite textual support. You will be expected to speak at least five times. Notice the rubric below awards full credit for comments with
2 quotes. Keeping an informal reading log with quotes and thoughts and reactions as you read is suggested so that you can more easily reference that information during the Socratic Seminar. You will be able to use whatever notes you have taken. The rubric and questions are below. Grading Rubric that will be used during the Socratic Seminar + : Insightful thought, with quote, 10 points : Insightful thought, no quote, 8 points - : Repetitive or obvious statement, 6 points ^ : Connects to another work of literature, 5 points * : Personal Connection, 2 points Speaking Turn 1 Speaking Turn 2 Speaking Turn 3 Speaking Turn 4 Speaking Turn 5 Socratic Seminar Questions for you to carefully consider before the seminar: 1. Who is responsible for the doll house condition of the marriage? To what extent is Nora a victim? 2. Rank the characters in order of virtue, explaining which moral quality you think each person embodies and why. 3. How does the play present the idea that moral corruption may be passed from generation to generation. Consider Krogstad and his sons, Nora and her children, Nora and her father, and Dr. Rank. 4. Is A Doll s House a comedy, a tragedy, or both? Explain. 5. Which characters change in the course of the play? Consider one dynamic character and examine the causes and effects of the change. Also consider how characters act as foils. 6. How does the play criticize society's conventions, such as the patriarchal society and laws concerning loans. 7. In what ways does Ibsen give external symbols of internal qualities in his characters? 8. Who is the play's antagonist? Explain. 9. Argue for or against Nora's decision at the end of the play. 10. What elements of either Romanticism or Realism do you find in the play? 4. Essay on Life of Pi : Choose any one of the following six topics. Write a standard literary analysis essay to answer the question. This essay is due on the first day of school. This means using correct MLA citation format as well as other MLA format requirements. Consult the OWL at Purdue online at a. In his introductory note Yann Martel says, "This book was born as I was hungry." What sort of emotional nourishment might Life of Pi have fed to its author? b. Yann Martel sprinkles the novel with italicized memories of the "real" Pi Patel and wonders in his author's note whether fiction is "the selective transforming of reality, the twisting of it to bring out its essence." If this is so, what is the essence of Pi? c. Pi's full name, Piscine Molitor Patel, was inspired by a Parisian swimming pool that "the gods would have delighted to swim in." The shortened form refers to the ratio of a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. Explore the significance of Pi's unusual name to the events in the novel, and/or the theme of the novel. d. How do Mr. Patel's zookeeping abilities compare to his parenting skills? For example, note the scene in which his tries to teach his children a lesson in survival by arranging for them to watch a tiger devour a goat. Did this in any way prepare Pi for the most dangerous experience of his life? e. How did you react to Pi's interview by the Japanese transport ministers? Did you ever believe that Pi's mother, along with a sailor and a cannibalistic cook, had perhaps been in the lifeboat with him instead of the animals? How does Yann Martel achieve such believability in his surprising plots? f. The opening scene occurs after Pi's ordeal has ended. Discussing his work in the first chapter, Pi says that a necktie is a noose, and he mentions some of the things that he misses about India (in spite of his love for Canada). Would you say that this novel has a happy ending? How does the grown-up version of Pi contrast with his little-boy scenes? Honor Code: AP Literature and Composition is a college level course. As a result, you will be held to the utmost level of honor, dignity and honesty. All work that you do must be your own. If you consult an outside source (anything other than your mind), you must acknowledge that with an MLA Works Cited Page and parenthetical citations. If you plagiarize, you will receive a zero on the assignment, a phone call home and a referral. You will not be allowed to redo the assignment. Issues: If you have any issues, please contact us via ; keep a copy of the and response for documentation purposes. Ms. Davanzo: Mary.davanzo@vbschools.com Mr. Doyle: Mark.doyle@vbschools.com
