APELC Summer Reading

Hello 2010-2011 APELCers. I hope you’re all enjoying the summer with your friends and family as much as I am with mine. I wanted to remind you of your summer reading assignments: The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain’s The Innocents Abroad.

You can find them easily at your local public liberry, or you might try Bookman’s. Both are in the public domain and are available online. You can also find audio versions at LibriVox.org in a variety of download packages. (I chose to subscribe to each through iTunes and sync them to my iPod.)

I recommend taking notes on everything from the small facts to the broad ideas as you read and/or listen carefully and thoroughly. (If you don’t already have this habit, now’s a good time to begin to develop it.) Don’t expect to be quizzed on them on the first day of class, but be ready to speak on them intelligently.

I look forward to meeting you in four weeks.
