Welcome to AP English Literature and Composition (APE)
There are links to each of our units in the navigation bar above. Specific resources for each unit will be added throughout the year.
Required Materials for AP Literature
This year we will be using Google Classroom as an extension of our classroom. You will be expected to participate in online discussions and turn in all assignment online through Classroom.
Materials
- Writing utensil--a pen will be required for all in-class essays
- Reader’s Notebook--Students will be required to keep a notebook to keep track of their responses as they read, respond to prompts given by me, and to take lecture notes. (See Reader’s Notebook Handout for more information)
- 3 x 5 cards--We will use 3 x 5 cards a lot this year--for daily quizzes, exit cards, quick responses, and discussion questions. Each student should have a pack of 100.
- Folder or binder--In addition to the Reader’s Notebook, students will be given several handouts throughout the course of the year.
- Planner/Assignment Book--All students are expected to have some kind of organizational calendar so they can keep track of assignment due dates. Due dates will be given in class, posted on the board, and posted in PowerSchool. There are no excuses for not knowing when something is due.
- Multi-color pens--suggested, not required. Many students find it easier to color code their Reader’s Notebook by using various color pens. (See Reader’s Notebook Handout for more information.)
- Post-it tabs for coding of CCS-owned texts.
