I have always stopped all writing assignments with my AP English students after the AP Exam because I push them so hard up until that point, and they have drafted multiple college-level compositions by that point. After the exam, we simply discuss novels I assign for the kids to read at home. I pick novels that I think the kids will enjoy, but discussion is all we do. Once I even had them read 50 Shades of Grey with the discussion prompt: What makes "bad literature." I think they enjoy this, and the break after the exam, and I like that we can end the year on a light note, reading simply for enjoyment. I don't care what any parents think about this.

 PP, are you are parent? I am going to guess that you are not. It is completely inappropriate for you to encourage HS students to read this book. There are so many other books you could choose that represent the genre of "bad" literature. Try to have some respect for parents, who still have the right to set limits on what their under-18 kids are reading.[/quote]
