Two Quarters: Must be taken with 104A AP Seminar ***

Open to grade 10 with recommendation of English 9 teacher.  (Must have form signed and on file at time of course scheduling).  

This class replaces required English 10A and English 10B. If students fail either quarter of AP Seminar, they must schedule regular English 10 as juniors. Students are cautioned that in order to succeed in AP Seminar, they must be self-motivated and be able to carry the workload of a typical college class. AP Seminar encourages students to explore academic and real-world topics by analyzing articles, research studies, and a variety of texts, including speeches, broadcasts, and personal accounts. Working individually and as part of a team, students will learn to synthesize information from multiple sources, develop their own perspectives in essays and presentations, and create and deliver oral and visual presentations. Ultimately, the course aims to equip students with the power to analyze and evaluate information with accuracy and precision in order to craft and communicate evidence-based arguments. Students may earn college credit by successfully completing three parts of an AP Seminar exam, two of which occur during the school year. Students are required to take the AP Exam.
