AP Material and APSI Material
APSI LINKS (General for AP English Literature and Composition)
What follows is one arrangement of many possible approaches to an APSI.

Please understand that the instructor will strive to maintain the material and the order of presentations listed below; however, at times, it may be necessary to deviate from the printed schedule due to changes essential to meeting the needs of most of the participants, time considerations, new ideas, new approaches, or new information. 

Course Description and Purpose

In this four-day online APSI, new teachers can anticipate sessions in which to learn and practice the basics essential for maintaining a successful AP English Literature course.  The four days will offer teachers a range of practical strategies for inspiring students to develop their voices as writers and critical thinkers.  The workshop is designed as a summer conversation among colleagues to foster a community of learners.  In AP classrooms, students have an array of experiences and understandings.  During this workshop, we will explore and create meaningful experiences designed to move students from what they know about literature to what they do not know to help them create insightful understandings of literature.  During the workshop, teachers will explore critical techniques to help students move beyond summary and engage in the complexities of short and long fiction and poetry with more confidence and understanding.

Teachers will be offered an array of approaches for assessing student writing and methods for assuring that students are held accountable for content/skills while fostering a healthy work culture for both students and instructor.  We will work with strategies for both the FRQ and MC questions.

In addition, we will explore how to best utilize the Analytic Rubric, CED, and AP Classroom so that students can benefit from the content and instructors can make targeted adjustments to their lessons.  Our focus on writing will involve evidence-based writing, problem-solving, collaborative learning, and helping students recognize what has previously been invisible to them in complex texts.
