AP Language And Composition Advanced Placement Language and composition is a college of poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction literature from a while still doing daily homework when you http://aslan.christianheritageschool.org/~lisa.snow/classes/ap_language/
Extractions: Advanced Placement Language and Composition is a college level English course. Our focus will be on close, careful reading of poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction literature from a wide variety of time periods and authors within American literature. Critical discussion and writing about these works will center on each writer's technique, theme, style, and tone. In addition, this course will emphasize persuasive writing and will stretch you to move beyond the basic five-paragraph essay to learn several effective essay structures. You can expect to write a variety of essays, both formal and informal, as you explore different reading assignments. While this class is not strictly a preparatory course for the Advanced Placement Exam, you are expected to take the test in May. If you pass the test, you will earn college credit in recognition of your coursework this year! This class will not be easyI promise! You are embarking on a challenge, a marathon, if you will, that will require daily training and dedication. I firmly believe that AP does not stand for brillianceit could very well be interpreted as Attitude and Perseverance. If you have a good attitude and are willing to work diligently, you will be fine. Please do not hesitate to seek help when you need it; I will always do my best to be available to you. Course Content: The Puritans Miller and Johnson

Extractions: The Spring 2004 administration of the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) will be here before you know it! This year, Cushing Students in Grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be taking portions of the state assessment test. Our entire school views MCAS Testing as an important part of our school year and although testing takes place in Grades 3-6, teachers in Kindergarten through Grade 6 understand that success on the MCAS is dependent upon the daily learning that takes place at all grade levels. MCAS Testing takes place in the spring of each academic year. At Cushing School, Grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be participating in the tests. Systemwide, students in Grades 7, 8, 9, and 10 will also be taking a portion of the MCAS Test. As all students (including students with disabilities and with limited proficiency in English) are required to participate in the testing sequence, it is important that students be in attendance during the scheduled days of testing. Only students with documented medical absences are excused from the testing. If a student is absent, a failing score of 200 is recorded. This not only affects the student's individual record but it also influences the district results. The following testing dates are very important for Cushing School Students:

Office Hours: Tuesdays, 6-7, Wednesdays, 6-7. (703) 993-2762. jhenry@gmu.edu In this section of 611 we will study a variety of rhetorics, our goal being to equip you as a professional writer, creative nonfiction writer, writing teacher, or literature scholar with new strategies and repertoires for composing. We will begin with selected texts from classical rhetoric, then read weekly texts representing rhetorics of persuasion, narration, "exposition," collaboration, and digital composition. Inquiry into each rhetoric will be both theoretical and practical, i.e., you will be expected both to reflect upon and to "enact" each rhetoric weekly in postings to our web discussion forum (Townhall) and in occasional hard-copy writing to be photocopied for classmates. The course will include two major writing projects: (1) a self-literacy analysis, based on weekly journal entries (SLJ), these postings to Townhall, and our class discussions, and (2) a term project that charts your newfound composing strategies and repertoires, aiming for immediate or long-term practical applications. These projects may be conducted collaboratively, if you desire. The term projects will be presented in hyptertext format (which you will learn during the weeks on digital rhetorics) and linked to one another on the web from our virtual syllabus. Don't be intimidated if you have no experience with hyptertextsÑwe will draw on our collective knowledge to help everyone achieve a level of expertise sufficient to post the term project.

Extractions: Daily Schedule Math Computer Science ... Brentwood Radio English The central focus of our English curriculum is to heighten students' command of and sensitivity to language and literature. In pursuance of this goal, students are encouraged to expand their awareness of, respect for, and originality in language, both written and spoken, through a systematic study of vocabulary, grammar and syntax, works of literature, composition, literary analysis and criticism. In view of the stress placed on writing in our curriculum, the teaching load of our English faculty is reduced by one class, thus providing a free period to meet individually with students. This reduction also gives the extra time necessary to evaluate clearly and make in-depth comments on all written assignments. Much emphasis is also placed on reading and research. The English Department feels that we must, as E.M. Forster admonishes, "only connect;" connections are stressed between form and content, themes and historical context, and the specific genre and the individual student.
