This is a College Board approved syllabus that I developed over years of teaching AP Literature and Composition. It's a month by month overview of various genres and student assessments. The final project, "My Year With..." is an independent project which the students work on from September through June, culminating in a research paper and a creative presentation (separate from the paper). The beauty of this project is that it keeps students engaged in the learning process long after the AP exam is over in May. Each year the students tell me that they really look forward to seeing "a new show" each day in class.
