Welcome to AP Literature! For your summer reading assignment, you will be reading two literature selections and completing a writing assignment due the first day of school (even if you are enrolled in the spring, this assignment is still due on the first day of the school year). Late submissions will receive a 25 point deduction. 

If you have any questions, feel free to email Mrs. Covington at covington8418@gmail.com.

For your convenience, the assignment can be viewed as a Microsoft Word Document, Google Document, or PDF File. (If viewing on a phone, the PDF will be the easiest to open.)
