ADVANCED PLACEMENT LITERATURE AND COMPOSITION

TAUGHT BY: DEBORAH CRUTHERS

AP Literature and Composition is being offered to all students who wish to take an accelerated AP class for college credit. This class is designed to be equivalent to a full year freshman introductory course in Literature. This course is designed to engage students in the reading and criticism of works of literary merit. Students will learn about the various components of fiction, poetry and drama

This course is designed to help students grow in their knowledge and love of literature and their regard for the people who create it; to teach students to read, write, and discuss literary works with precision, sensitivity, energy, and imagination; to encourage them to develop a deep and abiding resonance with some literary texts; and to allow them to integrate their own values and preferences with respect to both the style and substance of others while keeping true to themselves.

While we cannot guarantee passing the exam, we can claim that we have a 100% pass rate by all AP courses taught by Deborah Cruthers since she started two years ago. This is a two semester course.

WHEN: Monday’s 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM

COST: $455.00 per semester.
Starting Date: Monday August 27, 2007

CONTACT: Deborah Cruthers (760) 868-2458 (best time between 11:00 - 4:00 Mon - Thur). E-mail: hmotl@yahoo.com

We're not trying to do School at Home. We're trying to do homeschool. These are two entirely different propositions. We're not trying to replicate the time, style or content of the classroom. Rather we're trying to cultivate a lifestyle of learning in which learning takes place from morning until bedtime 7 days each week. The formalportion of each teaching day is just the tip of the iceburg.

When they learn in their own way and for their own reasons, children learn so much more rapidly and effectively than we could possibly teach them, that we can afford to throw away our curricula and our timetables, and set them free, at least most of the time, to learn on their own.
