AP & STRESS
Junior year is rough. It's when I students get the most overwhelmed because they end up taking on too much and/or the world starts putting too much on them. It is okay to struggle this year; it will help you to grow and become a better scholar and person.
But you don't have to do it alone. If you start feeling overwhelmed, please reach out to me or to our counselor Ms. Brooks at bbrooks2@dentonisd.org. We are here to support you.
My reminder to you during this is that you are worth more than your grades and that your grades do not define you. Do not sacrifice your mental or physical health for an assignment. Talk to me and we can make adjustments to our timeline. I am proud of any progress you make in this class towards becoming a better writer & scholar. Give yourself grace and be proud of yourself.
CONTROVERSIAL TEXTUAL CONTENT
Please review this with your guardians
Issues that might, from particular social, historical, or cultural viewpoints, be considered controversial, including references to ethnicities, nationalities, religions, races, dialects, gender, or class, may be addressed in texts that are appropriate for the AP English Language and Composition course. Fair representation of issues and peoples may occasionally include controversial material. Since AP students have chosen a program that directly involves them in college level work, participation in this course depends on a level of maturity consistent with the age of high school students who have engaged in thoughtful analyses of a variety of texts. The best response to controversial language or ideas in a text might well be a question about the larger meaning, purpose, or overall effect of the language or idea in context. AP students should have the maturity, skill, and will to seek the larger meaning of a text or issue through thoughtful research.
