My Project

In an effort to make AP courses available to all students we are an AP For ALL school that welcomes any student who wants to take on the challenge of an AP class.

I am excited to kick off this year in AP Literature with a unit called Page-to-Stage where we will read multiple texts that have been produced on stage or on film.

This project will help me to provide a new set of A Raisin In The Sun for our class that they can utilize in-class reading and analysis followed by an examination of the 1961 film. The play's themes and characters continue to be relevant today and will provide a vehicle for in-depth class discussion.
