Welcome to Advanced Placement (AP) English IV. I am excited about my opportunity to teach and your opportunity to learn about literature of the world, particularly British Literature. In this class, you will learn to read actively and closely analyze various works of drama, poetry, and fiction chosen primarily from the British literary canon. During this class, you will be exposed to both fiction and nonfiction forms of literature including essays, letters, diaries, journals, sermons, textbooks, maps, speeches, newspapers, novels, poems and electronic media. You will complete numerous short and long writing assignments.
