This class was tough.
Course Overview:
I would recommend this course because it really tests your linguistic and interpretation abilities. I was able to grow as a reader, a writer, and a thinker because of this course. This course prepared me especially for AP literature.
Course highlights:
The highlights were being able to track and find specific examples of my growth in this subject. We had to do reading journal conferences where we analyzed our work from the beginning of the semester to the end and see where we improved. It gave me validation of how I had improved my abilities in this area.

6-8 hours

Time management is key in this course because it is very important to plan out your homework and time wisely so you are not staying up or trying to finish anything last minute.
Pretty easy, overall.

It was really informative and rarely boring.

I learned a lot about debates and arguments. My teacher always showed both sides in a situation or problem and was never biased. It made me more open-minded.

Advice for students:
AP English isn't that much different from Honors English. There's not a lot of homework, not a lot of big projects, not a lot of presentations, etc. Just pay attention because it will help outside of the classroom.
