English II Pre-AP.

Picture
If you're enrolled in English II Pre-AP for the 2017-2018 school year you're in the right place. Below you will find our summer reading novel and corresponding assignments. This will be due when the school year begins in the fall. 

We are reading the novel The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. It is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it—from garden seeds to Scripture—is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.
​
