<p class=MsoNormal>Dear AC Parents and Students - <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I hope the summer has been going well for you. I am
sending this e-mail out to remind you and your student about the
summer-reading requirements for both AP Language and Composition (for
incoming juniors) and and for AP Literature and Composition (for incoming
seniors).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><strong><u>AP English Language</u></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>As per Ms. Tebbe, she reminds students to read the
instructions are on the first page of the summer reader. Each response
should be a page in length. She wants you to note that the student <strong>will skip
the last three essays</strong>, which didn't print well. That means the last
bullet of the instructions will be skipped too. "That becomes obvious
once you start," she adds.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The teachers for AP English Language this upcoming year
will be Ms. Tebbe, Mrs. Tammer, and Mr. Bye.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I will write a note soon bragging about the scores from
last year - between Tebbe, Tammer, Bye, and Ms. Rosen, AP Language
students received the best-ever scores since BHS has offered this class.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><strong><u>AP Lit</u></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Before the school year ended, students were directed to
get a 20% off coupon from Cody's Books to get three titles - <em>Death in
Venice</em>, <em>The Sound and the Fury</em>, and <em>Mrs. Dalloway</em>.
Then something happened...Cody's went out of business. And as it is, only
half of the students enrolled in the AP Lit class actually got summer reading
instructions.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>So we will change the summer reading assignment. Students
will be required to read Mann's novella <em>Death in Venice</em> as well
as Faulkner's <em>The Sound and the Fury </em>(<em>Mrs. Dalloway</em>
will not be required). For precise instructions, the incoming AP Lit student
is required to write me an e-mail at <a href="mailto:cartonteach@yahoo.com">cartonteach@yahoo.com</a>.
Parents may send me inquiries at <a href="mailto:mcarton@berkeley.k12.ca.us">mcarton@berkeley.k12.ca.us</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>For the two sections of AP Lit this upcoming year, I will
be teaching both.<o:p></o:p></p>
