Course Description
| The Classics/AP | 2 Credits |
Not Offered in 2012-2013
One or two AP elective courses will be offered each year. The 2011-12 AP elective will be African American Literature. 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. Students also have the option to complete an AP project in any of the other literature electives to earn AP credit.
