[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP Lang and AP Lit are the English classes where students are held to higher standards of writing. Unfortunately they don't come until 11th and 12 th grades.[/quote] I’m the teacher who posted above. IB English is also great for writing instruction. 3 of the 4 major assessments are essay-based, so teachers spend a lot of class time looking at strong writing samples and having students compose their own. (The 4th assessment is an oral component.) The problem is students often aren’t prepared for AP or IB work at the start of 11th grade. The IB middle years program is one way to counteract this, but most schools don’t have it. [/quote] “But most schools don’t have it” ^^^ Ding! Ding! Ding! Mcps erroneously believes creating an educational system where only a select few have access to what should be the curriculum for all students makes sense. [/quote]
