AP English Literature
This is a college-level class that ultimately prepares students for the Advanced Placement exam in May. In addition, it provides students with other skills as- sociated with the most advanced classes in high school English, including research skills.
When they have completed the class, students will have acquired the reading and critical thinking skills necessary for understanding challenging new ma- terial, analyzing that material to deduce meaning, and applying what they have learned to our world. They will have the composition skills needed to communicate their understanding effectively to a variety of audiences.
Students will read and analyze classic works of literature because these works contain literary qualities that merit study and provoke thinking, not because of a requirement to know a particular work or author. They will also look at modern and contemporary works as they examine all genres: plays, short stories, poetry, essays, and novels.
Students will learn to apply critical literary terms as tools for learning, understand- ing, and communication. Learning activities include close reading, paraphrasing, discussions, essays, short answer exams, research papers, reflective journals, web quests and others.
Required: A microphone will be needed so that oral communication assignments can be handed in. You will also need to have sound recording software. Almost all computers come with such software. Any of a number of free programs can be downloaded that will create MP3 files of any length. You can also use free soft- ware that most computers already have that will convert WAV files to MP3.
