Welcome to AP Lit. This course will challenge you to the breaking point, but you will emerge a stronger, more confident, and college ready reader and writer. The road will not be easy, but the destination will be worth it. We will emerse ourselves in novels, dramas, short fiction, and poetry - some you may have read before, but none as deep as we will explore it. Completion of the College Board AP Literature and Composition test will potentially earn you college credit. You will be ready for it! The course itself is weighted for your GPA. The first semester will be Honors weight and the second semester will be AP Weight.

Novels and Dramas
You will need procure copies of these books. I do have some copies of some of the titles available in class to borrow, but not nearly enough for a class set. Many are in the public domain, so there will be some available for free online. I have tried to provide online links in the packlet linked to each title. If you would like to donate your copy to the class when you are finished with it for the good of the cause, I am sure we can come to an arrangement that will make us both pleased. Your journal project will come from one of these selections. For the titles that say "- or -", you will pick one or the other. If you wish to substitute a different title, bring it to me and we can discuss the possibility of making that happen. Short Fiction & Poetry
GrammarWe will got through Elements of Style to gain more insight on writing not just grammatically, but also with better style. Every two weeks we will have a usuage quiz on the chapters you were assigned to learn. If purchasing this book, make sure to get the one with both Strunk and White listed as authors (fourth edition is the preferred). You can get all you need here. Vocabulary & Literary Terms
