Pre AP English 10 is a course in the study of literary genres. The students enrolled in this course will enhance their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills through discussion of course literature and the study of language arts. They will also improve their understanding and use of written conventions (grammar). Students will read with insight, write with control, listen judiciously, and speak with an informed purpose. They will prepare for AP 11 through an introduction to, and study of the five canons of rhetoric.

This is not a regular English 10 class. Please keep this in mind as the year progresses. There will be longer, more complicated reading, writing, speaking, and listening tasks. Please maintain a positive attitude and prepare for a challenging, extremely rewarding educational experience.
