AP English

http://wordsunlimited.typepad.com/files/bullet.pdf

Our syllabus is located to the right of this page under the resource locker and there are two of them: AP Syllabus short version, and my original AP syllabus sketched out for the entire year.  Changes have been made since I created the original.  Each year I add and subtract books, or plays, or poems read in an attempt to try and stay current with AP standards and expectations.  I am asking for students to check out of the library or purchase for themselves two books over the course of the year: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver for first semester and another novel to be announced second semester

Please feel free to email me at jlinker@husd.com for any questions or suggestions.

I sincerely hope your child's year in AP English is thought provoking, challenging, and full of academic intrigue.
