AP Language Incoming Students - Summer Reading

The summer reading assignment for AP Language classes at Salina Central is:

Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson

AND

The Gatekeepers by Jacques Steinberg

You will have a quiz on these books the first day you are back for the 09-10 school year. Your test will be in the first week. Do not go through summer without reading these books. Do not try coming into the test without having read the text and instead using a critique source (like sparknotes.com); it won't be a pleasant experience (most students who do drop the class choose to do so after realizing what a mistake it is to not do the summer reading). Especially if you read early in the summer, it will be a good idea to take notes over the texts.
