I chose AP Lit because I wanted to challenge myself and because I wanted to see what it felt like to take a college class.

I chose AP Lit because of the challenge.  I want to get better at time management, and completing difficult work.  I also am excited to hear discussions and different perspectives from my peers-- that is probably the most fun thing about my English classes these past years.

Learning how to read literature more closely and effectively is a good skill in general, applicable to most things in life (because we need to read).

Naomi took this class because she likes to challenge herself. She had also heard good things come from this class.

I've always been interested in the analysis and dissection of literature, and the content of this class seemed very appealing to me as a result. I've also heard good things about Mr. Ragsdale from my sister, so I wanted to take a course with him before I finished up my high school career.

I thought about it as a challenge. People were telling me that it was a challenging class which motivated me to try it. Also, since it's an AP class I would earn more knowledge and experience than going to a normal or advanced one.

This is my senior year and I could technically graduate early but I felt like this course was worth the work and I didn't need to settle for a class that may not improve my reading/writing skills.

I took this class because my friend Nyah took it and my sister Ella took it when she was here. It seemed like a helpful class. Also because we will have a unit on college work (preparing for college, writing essays for college, etc.)

This is my favorite class to teach and a space that allows me to engage students in dicussion of the human condition on a daily basis. Students have the opportunity to read amazing books and to share their understanding of the world with one another and with me. For 14 years, this has been a space for students to really grow and learn as readers, writers and thinkers. Finally, it's a great place to prepare kids for the rigors of collegiate work.
