Pre-AP English I

What is Pre- AP?

Pre-AP English I introduces students to the rigors, expectations, and terminology of advanced placement study in the English Language Arts. Students will be trained how to analyze literature; how to draw meaning and significance from a writer’s choices. With the understanding that all texts are rhetorical, students will be taught how to both recognize and use rhetorical strategies (including stylistic devices). Considerable time will also be spent mastering the rules of the English language, improving composition skills, and developing a mature vocabulary.

Should my child take Pre- AP?

Expectations: Prepare to be challenged. Pre-AP English I students need to be highly motivated, reliable, and creative. If your child is someone who has trouble handling a heavy workload, trouble completing assignments on time, and/or who does not take pride in his/her work, then they will have difficulty passing this course. This course will require homework most nights, extensive reading and writing.
