Overview of Course

One Course: Three Missions

Advanced Placement means you can get college credit if you pass the exam; so that will be part of the focus. Advanced Placement also means that you wish to be challenged to a rigorous standard, such as at university level; so that will be part of the workload in terms of amount, intensity, and grading. Advanced Placement means you enjoy exploring the subject of literature in its myriad forms; so that will be how the course is shaped and directed.

Units of Work

Semester 1 and Semester 2

Semester One will be similar to a college level course; using an accelerated reading pace of complex texts, we will ascertain your ability to comprehend, analyze, and discuss sophisticated literature. See syllabus [insert link here] for specifics in terms of texts covered and corresponding assignments.

Semester Two will begin a more concentrated focus on the actual AP Literature and Composition examination; those not electing to take the exam will still benefit from the work done on critical reading and the expression of ideas.

Assessment Tasks

Formative and Summative

Formative Tasks: These will comprise the majority of the assignments completed over the course, as they will assist students in learning about the types of literature and the methods of critical inquiry demanded of them. Grade weighting will take into consideration two factors: MN Standards and AP Literature and Composition guidelines.

Summative Tasks: There will be very few Summative Tasks, but they will constitute 80% of the final grade. With only a couple of them throughout the course, the Portfolio at the end of the year will culminate in the majority of this mark. However, the research and composition, group discussion and essay writing, project based learning et al will all be factored.

Students will also participate in non-graded but recorded practice of AP Lit examination skills throughout the year, developing and strengthening their skills in poetry, prose, and long narrative (novel or play) analysis and explication.
