FOR GRADE 10 ENGLISH CLASSES
AP teachers know the roots of AP® success are established in the earlier grades. That is the idea behind Advanced Language & Literature—a complete solution for 10th grade honors and Pre-AP® English classes. Driven by the expertise of Renee Shea, John Golden, and Lance Balla, this introduction to literature and nonfiction, reading and writing, analysis and argument, is both challenging and nurturing; a book full of big ideas, thought-provoking texts, and all of the support young minds need to be prepared for AP® success.
Walking into their English classes at the beginning of the year, students often ask, "Why do I have to take English again? Didn't I do it already?" These are questions we, as authors of this book, have tried to anticipate and address. The answer we can give students is that this year they will have an opportunity to discuss compelling topics - some close to their own experience, some outside of their comfort zone - as they develop new skills and gain the knowledge they need to become college-ready readers, writers, and thinkers.
