    Dear AP English: Literature and Composition Students,

    We are happy that you have taken on the rigor of an AP English class and applaud the
    commitment you have made. Because our focus is on helping prepare students for the
    AP English exam, we require that AP English: Literature and Composition students
    Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools begin their AP study during the summer to address the following objectives:
    P.O. Box 2513  To establish the expectation that reading texts for AP courses is a critical,
    Winston-Salem, NC 27102-2513
    (336) 727-2816 Fax(336) 727-2008 meaningful process
    website: wsfcs.k12.nc.us  To establish a shared experience to begin the year’s rigorous academic work

    To accomplish these goals, we expect you to read Thomas C. Foster’s How to Read
    Literature Like a Professor (HTRLLAP) and your school’s text selection. Please note
    that it is the student’s responsibility to read the appropriate text for their school; if a
    student changes schools, s/he must complete the summer reading assignment for that
    particular school.

    So that we all have the same copies of the texts please reference the following ISBN
    and publisher information before purchasing your copy:

    How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas C. Foster


    ISBN: 978-0062301673 Publisher: Harper Collins Publisher

    Start your summer reading with How to Read Literature like a Professor. Dr. Thomas
    Foster asks you to explore and challenge a piece of literature on a deeper level than you
    may have before. There is usually something else going on in a text, and the text holds
    clues to a deeper meaning. You are to read and carefully annotate this text as well as the
    assigned text for your school.

    Instructions for annotating can be found at https://www.ramapo.edu/crw/files/2013/03/20-2.pdf.


    When you have finished reading, you are to complete the attached assignment.
    Please type and save your assignment so that it may be submitted to Turnitin.com. You
    should also be prepared for an in-class discussion connecting the two books.
    Board of Education We trust you will begin this summer to experience the special challenge of AP English:
    Literature and Composition.
