SOCIAL STUDIES – SUMMER READING LIST<br />
To become eligible for entry into Pre-Advanced Placement and Advanced Placement Social<br />
Studies, a student is expected to complete a summer reading assignment. During the first six<br />
weeks, students will take an objective test over the summer reading assignment; as well as discuss<br />
and complete written analyses of sections from the summer reading assignment as an introduction<br />
to the skills required and content to be mastered for certain Pre-Advanced Placement and<br />
Advanced Placement <strong>course</strong>s. Throughout the year these readings will continue to be referenced<br />
and analyzed in the particular <strong>course</strong> of study. Because Advanced Placement <strong>course</strong>s are college<br />
<strong>course</strong>s and are designed to prepare the students to pass the Advanced Placement exam,<br />
students who elect to take these <strong>course</strong>s are required to make a significant commitment of time<br />
and effort, and should expect intensive reading and writing assignments throughout the year.<br />
The summer readings will be available for sale at local bookstores and online booksellers. Guided<br />
Reading Questions will be available at <strong>Longview</strong> High <strong>School</strong> and posted on the LHS web site at<br />
the Social Studies Department link. Students often prefer to purchase their own copies so as to<br />
mark passages and make notes as they closely read a particular work to prepare for analytical<br />
essays that will be written throughout the year. In addition, copies of each summer reading<br />
<strong>selection</strong> will be available at <strong>Longview</strong> High <strong>School</strong> Library for student’s use during the summer.<br />
Since library hours during the summer depend on the summer school schedule, students need to<br />
call 903-663-7177 to verify that the library will be open.<br />
