The English 1 teachers at AHS are anxiously awaiting your arrival next August! In the meantime, we need you to prepare yourself for what is to come throughout the school year with some prep reading. The only book you need to purchase is Mythology, by Edith Hamilton. Why this book? The many allusions and mythological stories in this book will be referenced many times throughout your reading in Pre-AP English 1, as well as the rest of your English coursework throughout high school. The book is both interesting and informative, and it should be a fun read. Mythology should be easy to find at your local bookstore, or through online order at Amazon.com or BN.com We are also asking you to read 4 short stories. We are providing links to the following short stories, but they may also be purchased in bookstores, websites, or found for free if searched. You are responsible for reading the following short stories: "To Build A Fire", Jack London "Lamb to the Slaughter", Roald Dahl "The Lottery", Shirley Jackson "The Tell-Tale Heart", Edgar Allan Poe Both Mythology and the short stories assigned will have activities assigned for completion over the summer. A suggested schedule will also be posted on this website. Stay tuned for more details.
