What projects do you guys have to do over the summer that are due the day that you go back to school. I have to read the great gatsby and mark the entire book. I also have to answer questions on each of the chapters. Good thing for spark notes and cliff notes. So far the only thing I have had to do it read it, then for the marking and questions I just copy stuff from the spark and cliff notes.

No, usually honors or AP classes require a summer project.

It was so retarded last year. For Honors Gov, you had to read a book. And take a quiz you didnt even need to pass. And she didnt review the book at all.

But AP World is chill. No project.

Frankie--I've read Gatsby over 10 times, and an associate of mine wrote on GG at www.collegeclub.com/novelnotes. Go to that website and you are set, bro.

And I'm not just saying that since I'm a member of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society.

(It is one of the best high school books you'll read, though.)

BE VERY CAREFUL! do not copy from spark notes or cliff notes... believe it or not, there are computer programs where all a teacher has to do is plug in one of your sentences, and it'll take them to the article you copied from!!

be original.. put some thought into it

ahah I read their eye were watching God. I have an essay on it if you want I can send it to you so you get a grasp of the themes etc. I'd tell you what the theme is but I've grown weary of writing essays on it, I had like 3 test on the book. Go check out www.sparknotes.com they have explanation along with a summary of the book.
In case you need an essay on The joy luck club (to formulate your ideas NOT TO PLAGIARIZE) I wrote a 16 page essay on it.

Spanish is easy I tested for credit for spanish 1 and didnt have to take it and ended with a 100 in spanish 2 as my final average. I think I'm gonna try to test out of spanish 3.
