Advanced Placement  English

This class is about college-level learning, something      most high school students do not have available to them.    College level learning is not primarilyabout rigor-though that is a part of college, but about responsibility and acceptance of ones self as a more mature student,     reading and thinking about writing more mature texts.     The difficulty of the texts is a stimulus for students to   make their own decisions about authors, about      themselves as a writer, about their colleagues as       writers, about the deep and ongoing questions that        relate to what it means to be a responding, acting        human being both individually and as a part of society.

English 12

This is a literary and composition course. Literature is compiled of a survey of British Literature, which includes Old English text, with the expectation that students will continue to develop a greater sophistication in the use and understanding of our English language. As required by state curriculum, composition will consist of daily writing, processes of writing, the production of a senior career/education research paper, and a professional portfolio project. Therefore, students will be given a wide variety of reading and writing experiences aimed at preparing for both college / non-college life after graduation.
