Overview
AP Lit runs on close reading, real discussion, and writing you keep improving instead of writing once and filing away. The course cycles through three genres three times over the year, short fiction, poetry, and longer fiction or drama, so you keep returning to the same analytical muscles at increasing depth. Alongside the units, we run three ongoing strands: AP-style writing practice, foundational skills, and vocabulary.
On revision: nothing is capped. Timed, in-class writing counts as a first attempt, not a verdict, and every piece can be revised afterward. When we build toward the AP essay rubric, we isolate one row at a time, evidence, then reasoning, then sophistication, before asking you to hit all three at once.
Year at a Glance
Right Now: Unit 2, Poetry I
We're building the foundation for reading poetry closely: how a single word choice shifts tone, and how simile and metaphor compress meaning into an image. This is the groundwork for every poem we read the rest of the year.
