A TYPICAL WEEK IN AP ENGLISH Lit:
A TYPICAL WEEK IN AP ENGLISH Lit:
A typical week in AP English includes a reading assignment each night (and weekends), and one writing assignment. Some writing assignments are shorter, including notes, outlines and reader response; other assignments may be longer, particularly the formal essays. Occasionally there will be timed in-class writing, typically on the subject of the readings that we are currently studying in class or a sample AP exam prompt. In addition, students are expected to learn and incorporate new vocabulary assigned with during each unit of study. The intensive focus on analysis of literature will require that students bring pithy questions to every class.
