Welcome to AP Literature! AP Literature and Composition is a college level course that is taught in a high school setting. Requirements for success are rigorous but not impossible. I expect students to possess a strong work ethic, but I also hope they possess a love of literature. If you are willing to do the work, you will undoubtedly find success and a sense of achievement.
The hope and expectation is that students intend to take the AP Exam in May in an attempt to earn some college credit. Students should be sure to check with the university(ies) of their dreams to see what credit(s) they can earn with what AP scores. Each college is different with specific requirements for credit retrieval.

In this class students can expect the tone to be that of a college class but with the added support of a high school teacher. Essays will receive two types of scores: a standard based grade (4,3,2,1,0) AND an AP score (6,5,4,3,2,1,0) as one is for the grade book and one is to show how college board would assess the work. Contact me for further explanation.

Students are expected to grapple with the concepts, genre, vocabulary, and literary devices in each reading before coming to class. Questions about the text are expected and our class discussions will show whether the student gave the reading actual consideration rather than a passing glance. It will be imperative that the readings are completed before we meet. Class discussions will lose all power if students don't know the text we are discussing.

Like a class at the university level, all readings are to be done as homework. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the syllabus and the expectations of the class. See syllabus below.

I’m looking forward to an exciting and rewarding journey for all of us!
FYI: I write exceptional letters of recommendation for those students who have excellent work habits. I will NOT be a reference for a student I would not hire, so how well a student decides to meet the standards, determines how well a teacher will support them when it's time to look for college acceptance or employment.
