English IV
AP Literature and Composition
Summer Reading Assignment
Read the following texts:
1) How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster
2) Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
Note that these texts can be purchased inexpensively on Amazon: $10-11 for a new copy or about $5 for a used copy.
After reading both texts, choose ten chapters of How to Read Literature Like a Professor that apply closely to Song of Solomon.
For each of these ten chapters, write a well-developed paragraph explaining how the ideas in the text are reflected in this literary work. Make sure to support your conclusions with specific quotes and ideas from each text. You may complete this assignment digitally or on
paper.
Have your assignment ready upon your return to school.

Have a wonderful summer and I look forward to working with you,
Mrs. Whitelaw
