Grade Level: 12 Credit: 1-Full Year Recommended Prerequisite: English Honors I, English Honors II, and English Honors III or English III AP English VI A P is a survey of world literature. For understanding and appreciation, students will read literary works by major authors. The course emphasizes the humanities; hence, the inclusion of music and art, as they might enhance particular works, is a consideration. Students will be asked to read accurately, to discuss intelligently, to write analytically, as both a craft and an art, and to learn that writing is an essential part of discovery and clarification of ideas. Novels are the major emphasis in the fall, with an in-depth study of poetry in the spring. The purpose of AP English is to provide the able, motivated senior an opportunity to do college-level work in high school. Students will be asked to demonstrate that knowledge on the Advanced Placement Literature and Composition Exam in May. Some of the recommended reading suggested by the College Board contains thematically mature content.
