AP and Pre-AP Summer Homework

AP and Pre-AP courses often require summer homework as there is so much content to cover over the course of the school year.  Providing summer assignments allows students to get a taste of the type of work they will be navigating during the coming year and it allows instruction to begin on the first day of class (e.g. discussing a novel just read by students).
