    COURSE DESCRIPTION:

    Recommended for college-bound seniors who are looking for a challenge and the chance to earn college credit. The course is designed to operate much as a college level literature course would. Students are expected to read and analyze literature. The materials covered include short stories, poetry, classic plays, and novels. Students are expected to discuss these stories in class as well as through several essays. Emphasis is put on preparing the students for the AP exam in the spring. This test has a multiple choice section and an essay section. The multiple choice test focuses on critical reading skills and their knowledge of literary and poetic devices. The essay section focuses on 3 styles: poetry analysis, prose analysis, and a literary argument; these will focus on a variety of reading and writing skills. Both sections will also test them on their knowledge of citing sources. All of this is reflective of what they will be expected to do in college English classes. By taking AP, a student is not just preparing for the exam, but also enhancing their motivation to study language and composition in greater depth with students who are similarly motivated to learn.
