I'm
Ms. Mogilefsky (also known as Ms. M). I'm excited to work with you
this year as we prepare as a team for the AP Language and Composition
exam and explore a variety of well-known books, short stories,
nonfiction articles and essays that are an important part of the
conversation about the nature of American life, past and present.
In this highly interactive class, we will read American literature, as well as a wide range of nonfiction pieces – essays, memoirs, letters, speeches, articles about current events, literary criticism, and even scientific passages and Supreme Court cases. You'll also read books and articles of your choice as you work on research-based pieces, independent reading, current events assignments, debates, and other activities. Themes from classic texts will be read and discussed alongside related current events, and you'll have a lot of opportunities to express yourselves verbally and in writing. You'll practice each of the three styles of essays on the AP exam and will be confident and prepared by May.
I know junior year can be stressful: SATs, ACTs, extracurriculars, CAASP testing, and of course the AP exam on Wednesday, May 15, 2019. We'll take on the challenges one step at a time, and all of the activities we'll work on will help you succeed. I look forward to a productive and enjoyable year with you and your classmates!
