This class is geared towards preparing students for taking and making a qualifying score on the Advanced Placement exams in English. The curriculum for this course is advanced and will follow the PreAP curriculum as set by Laying the Foundation, and students will be expected to complete rigorous assignments. Students will be expected to acquire the following supplemental novels for use in the class. It would be beneficial for students to have their own books so that they can write in the books as we go.

Supplemental Novel List for 2008-2009 School Year:

The Giver - Lois Lowry

Walk Two Moons - Sharon Creech

A Midsummer Night's Dream - William Shakespeare (it would be beneficial to purchase No Fear Shakespeare for this play; it is published by Spark Notes)
