Two AP elective courses will be offered each year. Both are offered during the second trimester. Students who wish to take both should take one during their junior year and one during their senior year. One course in American literature and one course in world literature will be offered on a rotating basis. These co-taught courses, which are paired with a heterogeneous class, are designed for students with a deep interest in literature, solid reading skills, and a desire to pursue the study of literature at the college level. The courses will include an examination of classic and modern literature, appropriate selections of modern literary criticism, and preparation for the CEEB Advanced Placement Literature examination. The course will include an intensive review of literary terms and concepts, and an AP research paper will be the culmination of the trimester’s work.
