[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren’t, not really. Public high school, in AP english lang. They have literally read zero full books yet. They had to pick two off a long list, not really classics. A mix. But they haven’t even had to red them yet- its March [/quote] What do they spend their time on instead? [/quote] AP Lang is more about non-fiction, current events, marketing media, opinion pieces. They do A LOT of reading, analyzing, writing, socratic debate, etc. Done well, the class can absolutely help your student become a stronger, more discerning reader and writer. AP Lit will be more reading of classics and possibly modern works. [/quote] There’s no problem there. Current events, nonfiction, opinion pieces will help with college a lot more than a 200 year old book from England. [/quote]
