AP English Literature

Summer reading is a MANDATORY part of this class.  Advanced Placement Literature provides a challenging environment for the advanced student to excel in writing, in the study of literature, and in the application of critical thinking skills with in-depth analysis and mature discussion of great works and ideas.  Students will be expected to read the material outside of class, to participate actively in class discussions, to complete daily assignments or overnight responses, to take examinations, to complete college-type papers, and to do some independent work.  Students will qualify to sit for the English AP examination and possible college credit.
