Get Ready for the Common Application
This fall you'll want to fill out the Common Application. Over 500 colleges will accept the Common App, giving you the opportunity to fill out one application for a large number of colleges. They are initiating a new application as of August 1st and will be wiping out all prior user accounts, so you should wait until then to begin. You can still use the link below to get an idea of what information you should gather before you begin applying and which schools will accept the app (Purdue is one of them!).
Summer Writing Assignment
We will begin our school year by perfecting your college application essay. In order to prepare, I am assigning a simple writing task for you to complete one step at a time over the summer. Please follow the link below to see a digital version of the assignment if you have lost your handout.
Anansi Boys
"Fat" Charlie Nancy's life is ruined when it collides with his brother, Spider Nancy. He seeks out help from the old women who knew his father to exorcise Spider from his life, learning many surprising things about his brother, his family, and himself along the way.
Atonement
In the course of one day, a 13-year-old busybody witnesses three events that she immaturely misinterprets, leading to devastating consequences for two people. Can she ever atone for that mistake?
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Are you a hoopy frood who really knows where his/her towel is? Join Arthur Dent as he is dragged into a romp across the universe, all while still wearing his pajamas and bathrobe, with nothing but his friend Ford Prefect and a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to help him keep it together.
Rebecca
A post-Victorian mystery. The titular character never actually appears in the book. Give it a chance - you will get sucked in and will need to know just what's up with Rebecca.
The Road
The world is ruined. The Man and the Boy are the only members of the family left, traveling toward the coast, keeping the light alive.
Jane Eyre
How much bad luck can one orphan have? And what's in that attic?
