AP LANG SUMMER ASSIGNMENT: 2026 - 2027

If you are enrolled in AP English Language and Composition (AP Lang) for the 2026-2027 school year - regardless of which teacher you will have - you must join the AP Lang Summer 2026-2027 Google Classroom. The code is hjzgchu4.

In this classroom, you will find the summer assignment posted. This assignment is for both myself and Ms. McKeever and is due the first day of school, September 2, 2026, regardless of which semester you have AP Lang.  Should you have any questions about the assignment, please email one of us prior to August 15th: (nichole.lesniak@wtsdnj.com) or (maura.mckeever@wtsdnj.com). You may submit the assignment earlier; the assignment will not be accepted late.

Each incoming AP Lang student is expected to complete the summer reading and accompanying assignment. The purpose of the summer work is to acquaint you with one topic of the course: the effective use of language. The assignment will allow you to consider how writers use the tools of language: grammar and punctuation to powerfully convey meaningful ideas.

It is your responsibility to thoughtfully and fully read the assigned text. The accompanying assignment is designed to ascertain if you have read and reflected on your reading. Do not make the mistake of using another’s work or ideas. You will learn that we do read everything that you turn in. Plagiarism will not be tolerated, nor will the use of AI of any kind.
