1 Foothill Technology High School AP Literature and Composition Syllabus Course Description Welcome to English Literature and Composition. You are about to embark on an entirely new journey into English literature. This course is infinitely DIFFERENT than the AP Language and Composition class that you completed last year. This is not an extension of that course. Be prepared to think about texts in an entirely new way. The AP Literature and Composition course follows the curricular requirements found in the AP English Course description which is available on the AP College Board web site at apcentral.collegeboard.com/englit. Please familiarize yourself with this document. This course includes an intensive study of works of both British and American writers as well as works written in several genres from the sixteenth century to contemporary times. Even though this course, according to the Ventura Unified School District, is entirely British Literature, we will be studying a number of American authors and poets from different genres and eras. This course is divided into thematic units. During each unit you will study key texts, learn and practice vital writing and reading skills, develop a more sophisticated vocabulary, study and implement diverse writing styles and learn to analyze and evaluate without judging. Throughout this course you will be expected to read actively, deliberately and thoroughly. You will be expected to respond to literature in a number of ways and you will be asked to analyze your own work, the work of your peers and the work of the chosen authors. You will be expected to write in different ways this year, this includes; writing to understand, writing to explain, writing to evaluate and writing to analyze. You will write in class essays on a weekly basis and you will have a number of homework assignments that are connected to the pieces that we are studying. Some of the homework assignments will be analytical, others research based or a combination of both. There will also be pieces that you will be expected to read as part of a small study group that will enhance your understanding of the work done in class. For this class to function smoothly and maturely, I have some expectations: ~ I expect that you be prepared when you enter class every day. ~ I expect you to be serious about the work at hand and ready for in depth exploration into literature. ~ I expect you to be responsible for your own literary vocabulary. ~ I expect you to be able to analyze, evaluate and interpret several genres of literature by the end of this course. ~ I expect you to take the AP test in May. 1
2 Grading Your grade will be based on five categories of assignments: In-class essays (which will be graded according to the AP scale) ~ You will write a timed essay every Monday (or Monday schedule day). I will grade every third essay. The other two will be guided peer or self reflection. We will have in class discussions about the essays and the recommended responses. You may use your Renaissance/Finish Strong card to rewrite ONE in-class essay per quarter. You must let me know AS SOON AS YOUR essay is returned that you would like to rewrite. You have ONE WEEK from date of essay return to resubmit your revised essay. Homework essays (which will be graded according to the AP scale) ~ All homework prompts are provided in the syllabus. All homework will be graded by the teacher. You may use your Renaissance/Finish Strong card to rewrite ONE homework essay per semester. You must let me know AS SOON AS YOUR essay is returned that you would like to rewrite. You have ONE WEEK from date of essay return to resubmit your revised essay. ALL homework essays must be in MLA format. Yes you have to use in text citations and a works cited page! Multiple choice tests (10 15 points per week) ~ You will complete a short multiple choice test as your warm up every block day. We will discuss answers immediately following the test. Participation and annotation ~ Participation in class discussions and annotation of texts and poems are key for success in this class. Participation happens in various ways: during informal discussions, during Socratic seminars, on blogs and during other class activities. I expect thoughtful and continuous participation. Annotation happens in your texts, on your poems and in your reading journal. Points may be given periodically for this. Active reading involves writing and note taking while you read. Hero Project ~ All seniors must complete the Senior Hero Project to graduate from FTHS. AP students are not exempt from any part of the project. College Application Essays ~ There is no homework scheduled for the month of November. Your time should be spent focusing on your college application essays. I will be available for the entire month to help you with these. Unit One Heroism and Identity "Beowulf" - Translated by Seamus Heaney Grendel - John Gardner Wodwo - Ted Hughes UNIT SCHEDULE 2

Unit Three Symbolism & Historical Fiction The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay "Historical fiction... is the artistic form that springs from this impulse to give a shape to the past. But it s not JUST to give a shape to the past. It is to bring part of the past ALIVE into the present... It makes us feel, as a protagonist, what otherwise would be dead and lost to us. It transports us into the past.
