The
School House Books English (AP) Advanced Placement Reader is a comprehensive,
thought-provoking assortment of passages from works of literary merit as
suggested by high school teachers across the United States. As many as
sixty works of literary merit have been selected from a wide variety of
authors. Their chosen passages are short enough to be examined closely,
but long enough to be understood fully. Each excerpt ends with two specifically
written essay questions: one typical of the English Advanced Placement
Literature and Composition Examination and one typical of the English Advanced
Placement Language and Composition Examination. A unique plan for teaching
students to grade each other's papers decreases teacher work and increases
student learning. The unique layout of this textbook also includes separate
chapters devoted to the Essay Focus and Rhetorical and Stylistic Devices,
with specific articles and exercises submitted to School House Books by
presently practicing teachers from across the United States. Finally, four
full-length, multiple-choice examinations provide the type of "perfect
practice" needed to improve the close reading skills necessary for success
on this very difficult aspect of all English AP Examinations.
