AP Literature and Composition What are you thinking?? Carolyn Johnson

What AP Lit is not “English major” / think “college readiness” “extrinsic reward” / think “intrinsic reward” “difficulty” / think “rigor” Adjust hearsay perceptions! - +

College-ready skills: Reading The pieces chosen for the AP Literature and Composition course invite and reward rereading, and do not, like ephemeral works in [more popular genres], yield all of their pleasures of thought and feeling the first time through. CONTEXT:What surrounds the work? CONTENT: What’s going on? CONNECTION: Why is it important? The College Board states the importance of reading deliberately and thoroughly...

College-ready skills: Reading... she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. With stars in her eyes and veils in her hair, with cyclamen and wild violets – what nonsense was he thinking? She was fifty at least – she had eight children. Stepping through fields of flowers and taking to her breast buds that had broken and lambs that had fallen; with the stars in her eyes and the wind in her hair – He took her bag. Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse “And the sound of your heart," he continued. "It's the most significant sound in my world. I'm so attuned to it now, I swear I could pick it out from miles away. But neither of these things matter. This," he said, taking my face in his hands. "You. That's what I'm keeping.” - Stephenie Myer, Eclipse Point of ViewSoundImagery 

College-ready skills: Writing effective use of rhetoric – including a controlling tone, consistent voice, and emphasis through parallelism and antithesis a wide vocabulary a variety of sentence structures logical organization a balance of generalization and specific illustrative detail Reading and writing support one another.... she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. With stars in her eyes and veils in her hair, with cyclamen and wild violets – what nonsense was he thinking? She was fifty at least – she had eight children. Stepping through fields of flowers and taking to her breast buds that had broken and lambs that had fallen; with the stars in her eyes and the wind in her hair – He took her bag. Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
