Farrar Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Hey, anyone know of a free or inexpensive laid out AP English Lang curriculum? Honestly, the sample syllabus from the CB isn't a bad option, but I'd love something just one step more laid out. Or even just an option or two. I found a few things, but they weren't quite what I was looking for. Basically, I want something where someone chose the readings and the major assignments and laid those out on a schedule. No need for frills. And yeah, I could do it myself, but... bandwidth, reinventing wheels, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porridge Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I'm looking for this, too! I'm currently reading through 5 different syllabi (3 from CB). would this work? It's not exactly scheduled, but it is broken into units https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/siteassets/schools/high-schools/r-w/wheatonhs/departments/departments/ap-english-lang-specter.pdf Please let me know if you find a good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that's exactly what I'm looking for... except. I don't love the reading choices for the kid I have this in mind for. Argh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nart Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Not sure if it is helpful but my son is at taking AP Language and AP US History at a public school. They teach it as a semi-combined course so what they read in AP Language is during the time period they are studying for APUSH. This is his reading list: • The American Pageant Bailey and Kennedy (AP History textbook) • The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne • "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards • Common Sense by Thomas Paine • The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin • "Federalist #10" by James Madison • "Give Me Liberty of Give Me Death" by Patrick Henry • “Declaration of Independence" by Thomas Jefferson • "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allen Poe • Poetry of Walt Whitman (Emerson, etc.) Walden, or Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau • Slave Narrative of Frederick Douglass • "Chicago" Poets (Lindsay, Sandburg) • Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herbert Melville • Speeches of Abraham Lincoln • "Benito Cereno" by Herman Melville • The Jungle by Upton Sinclair • Post WWI "Literature of Alienation" (Eliot, Pound, Stein, etc.) • The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman • The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald • The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway • The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck • "Making it Home" by Wendell Berry • "Beat," Confessional, and African American '60s Poets (various) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past three weeks or so they have been working on rhetorical essays and have looked at a couple of past AP test rhetorical prompts. Last week in English they had to write a rhetorical analysis of persuasion using Patrick Henry’s Give Me Liberty speech. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
