Hello, Parents and Students!  I'm Lisa Shambaugh, an English teacher at Ontario High School.

On this site, you'll find helpful links and homework information.  Bookmark this site and check it often for updates.

Advanced Placement Summer Reading Assignment
1.  The Holy Bible
2.  Crime and Punishment (Dostoevsky)
3.  Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck)

5.  Cry, the Beloved Country (Paton)
6.  Farewell to Arms (Hemingway)
7.  Jane Eyre (Bronte)
8.  MacBeth (Shakespeare)
9.  Classic novel of your choice...
 
Keep a Reader's Journal for each selection.  In this journal, include a summary of your daily reading, and then a response to your reading.  A stenographer's notebook is a good idea for this assignment (summarize on the left, respond on the right).  Five separate one-to-two page entries are due for each selection.  Please use only one side of the sheet of paper, and write in blue or black ink.

Here are some highlights from my background...
