Description: This is a 16-week online course composed of an orientation week and 15 weekly sessions. Expect to invest about 9-15 hours a week on course activities and assignments. The AP English Language and Composition course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing and the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts. Students will develop evidence-based analytic and argumentative essays that proceed through several stages or drafts. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Throughout the course, students develop a personal style by making appropriate grammatical choices. Additionally, students read and analyze the rhetorical elements and their effects in non-fiction texts, including graphic images as forms of text.

Description: The fall semester of AP English is a 16-week course that consists of 10 Lessons, each lesson being one complete unit of study. Literature selections within each lesson are designed to showcase the genre, literary kind, or literary elements that are the focus of the learning objectives for that lesson. At its core, literature is simply the stories we tell, but of course literature itself is not simple. It is rich and complex, and as varied and provocative as the humans who write it (and the humans who read it!). And that certainly makes it worthy of our time, exploration, study, and conversation, which is what this course is all about!

Prerequisites: 10th grade English or equivalent

Description: Storytelling is a strong human urge. We seem to feel compelled to create, with words, worlds and situations and characters. This ability, this compulsion to create—language—is what separates us from the other creatures of the earth. Imaginative writing is a rewarding, valuable activity—one that you can enjoy for a lifetime, not just during your school years. The joy of creation enhances our daily lives, helping us to grow and define ourselves. Recent studies indicate that the more you write, the better you write. This course in short story writing, therefore, should help you not only in this class, but in all your classes that require writing. Clear communication skills are in great demand in our world; our world runs on words. And certainly, imaginative, creative people are always in demand. The ability to create and to imagine new solutions or unique ways of seeing and solving problems is a valuable asset. This course is designed to improve your creative writing skills by giving you lots of writing practice. There are three short stories due in this course as well as several practice writing assignments.

Required Materials

Description: Physics is the foundational study for a deep understanding of any area of science. The study of physics provides us with a basis for describing the universe around us. Physics is the study of matter, space, energy, and time. It describes space-time, the way objects move, the many forms of energy, as well as how energy interacts with matter. There are many fields of physic such as mechanics, electricity, heat, sound, light, condensed matter, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and elementary particle physics. Physics is the foundation of all the physical sciences, including chemistry, material science, and geology, and it is important for understanding many other fields of human endeavor such as biology, medicine, computing, ice hockey, television…the list goes on and on. One of the key ideas in physics is that there is an underlying simplicity and unity in nature behind the complexity of the world around us. This is often expressed through all-embracing fundamental concepts such as the principle of conservation of energy. Physics is fascinating and can be fun. At its heart, physics is about finding things out—about understanding what lies behind everyday phenomena such as rainbows, red sunsets, and blue skies, as well as the more revolutionary concepts of quantum theory, relativity, and cosmology. This second half unit of the course takes you through an adventure of understanding how and why things move. It provides you with a basic understanding of the nature of matter and the properties of matter.
