hello I'm his beard in the English Department we know you're getting ready to make your schedules for next year and we wanted to make that a little easier by providing some answers to questions you might have said to make your I'm going to give you some knowledge nuggets just for pre-ap the first pre-ap knowledge nuggets is we follow the College Board curriculum that means we have X writing performance tasks and times learning checkpoint there's a multiple choice that go to college for so they can determine if the curriculum they're writing is preparing you for the test that they are writing the second knowledge and I get you're going to need is pre-ap focuses John's on what the author says we focus on what they mean and why would it what they said matters so we're going to analyze diction and contacts and sent her to determine if it means the same thing for us did it meant for them at their time the third thing you need to know about pre-ap is it it requires a commitment of time and energy outside of class most of the reading you're doing will be independent reading that means you will doing it at home and you will have have to have read it when you come to class so that we can apply that and synthesize it with other information if you haven't done the reading beforehand there's no way we can talk about it so if you don't like to read maybe this is at your best class Choice the last thing you need to know is college board expects you to already know how to use words so in your writing if you are comfortable with how you write sentence structure parts of speech grammar usage mechanics all of those really fun things that you've been learning since the fourth grade then you definitely have a place here we will do an accelerated review of it but not the first time that we will be teaching it so it won't be quite as in death if you're looking for direct instruction for writing a composition and that kind of thing we're going to have a great year we're excited to be here we're excited to have leave here and whatever decision you make as far as your schedule you're going to be well prepared for the EOC for After High School and for college and the word play we're excited great summer and it's a great day in this year's right now
