Welcome to Advanced Placement Literature.  I am so excited to begin this school year.  I am hoping that all of my students will achieve the following:

• learn to appreciate various genres of literature
• get a passing grade (or better ) on the advanced placement exams for English
• develop critical thinking skills and learn to think outside of the box 
• become confident and effective learners 
• feel prepared and excited to leave high school and pursue college or business 

Remember to turn in your paperwork and payment for AP tests to Mr. Chase, Mr. Glendenning, Ms. Press, or Ms. White.  No orders during BALTO week.  During the 1st week of March, order your tests through the finance office.  Late fee after March 5.

During the week of BALTO, groups will be presenting their parodies of a literary work.
