Welcome to
AP English Literature and Composition
2011-12
As you know, Advanced Placement English
Literature and Composition makes substantial
academic demands on students, who are required to
do considerable outside reading and other
assignments. Taking AP helps develop the intellectual skills and self-discipline needed to succeed in
college. Students need to demonstrate the analytical skills and writing abilities expected of first-year
students in a strong college program.
To encourage a positive learning environment, the following class rules will be enforced at all
times:
1. Come to class prepared and on time. Be seated and quiet when the bell rings. I will follow the 3
TARDIES = DETENTION rule. Bring class materials, including paper and three-ring binder (with
handouts), highlighters, a pen or pencil, and appropriate book(s) with you EVERY DAY. You should
also have a MORE library card or number that you can use at school.
2. Be polite. THINK, ACT, AND SPEAK POSITIVELY!  Show respect for other students and for me
at all times. If one person is talking, others in the class are not. Listen to and follow directions.
And be nice!
3. Be responsible. Finish your work on time. Plan ahead. Prepare, don’t procrastinate.
 Late assignments earn only HALF CREDIT. All assignments are due at the beginning of class
on the due date. Do not expect to be able to print your work in class.
 Term papers and long-term assignments are only accepted on the due date. If you are not in
school, you need to get your paper here physically or electronically. Late term papers/long-term
assignments earn HALF CREDIT, even if you were absent and excused on the due date. This
could seriously affect quarter and semester grades, so get your work to me by the due
date.
 CAUTIONARY NOTE: Technical difficulties will not be accepted as an excuse for late or
incomplete work. Computer and printer problems occur frequently. You need to problem solve
when they do happen, and if you have left yourself time to do so, you should be able to adapt. If
not, you will have to accept the consequences.
 Tests must be taken on time, or they will be worth HALF CREDIT, as well. Make-up tests may
be different from tests taken as scheduled. They may be longer (or shorter) and will not include
bonus opportunities.
 YOU are responsible for obtaining make-up assignments and taking tests for days you are
absent. You have as many days to complete them as you were absent + 1 DAY. This includes
taking tests.
 Don’t play games--when you know you will be absent, get your work early or make arrangements
to take tests.
Gum is o.k., if I don’t see or hear it. NO FOOD or DRINK, please. Water is fine; you clean up spills.
Throw away your garbage; recycle used paper. Don’t write on anything except paper.
Purses/bags must be stowed underneath your desk at all times during class.
Cell phones that ring or are used will be confiscated. They must be picked up from Mr. Russell.
Other contraband—earbuds, headsets, toys, hats--will be confiscated.
Swearing or vulgarity will cost you 25¢, five push-ups, or one detention per occurrence.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Examples of academic dishonesty include sharing and/or copying answers to assignments or tests, copying or
paraphrasing information found on the internet or in another reference without citing the information as coming
from a secondary source, and copying or paraphrasing research papers. Students guilty of plagiarism and other
forms of academic dishonesty will receive NO CREDIT for the assignment or test. Answer-givers and answertakers are equally guilty and will not receive credit for the work. You and your parents will need to sign the B-W
Academic Integrity Contract, a copy of which appears here:
Contract: Academic Integrity
Baldwin-Woodville High School
Plagiarism can be defined as submitting another person's ideas, words, images, or data without giving proper
acknowledgement or credit. Plagiarism, a form of academic dishonesty, is tantamount to stealing and will not be
tolerated. In order to clarify what constitutes academic dishonesty, you should be aware that you have committed
plagiarism when you:
• use phrases, quotes, or ideas not your own without referencing the source;
• paraphrase the work of another by changing wording or syntax, but not crediting the author;
• use facts or data not considered common knowledge (common knowledge would be birth and death dates,
etc.) without crediting a source;
• submit a paper written for any other class, even if YOU wrote it, without acknowledging it has been used
previously, even if much of the paper has been revised;
• submit a paper in whole or in part from an essay service or agency, even though you may have paid for it;
• submit a paper written in whole or in part by another person, even though he or she may have given you
permission to use it.
You should also note that plagiarism not only encompasses written work, but any intellectual property, including
computer data, graphics, research, musical scores, video programs, speeches, and visual arts.
Plagiarism is a serious issue. Teachers must be able to rely on the integrity of a student's work in order to maintain a
climate of successful learning. Plagiarism reflects on character; therefore, you should diligently avoid inadvertent
plagiarism. When you are unsure if acknowledgement is needed, credit the source or ask your teacher.
The penalties for blatant plagiarism include loss of all credit for the assignment with no opportunity to rewrite—
which, for weighty assignments such as a research papers, can jeopardize your chances of passing the class. In
addition, plagiarism may also result in disciplinary action, which may affect athletic/co-curricular eligibility.
I, __________________________________, am aware of the serious nature of plagiarism and will not intentionally
use or submit someone else's work without acknowledgement. Furthermore, I will not misrepresent someone else's
work as my own.
Signature________________________________ Date __________
I have read this contract and understand the consequences of plagiarism, and will support Baldwin-Woodville High
School, its teachers, administrators, and students, in maintaining an honest academic environment:

Details, Details, Details
The main goal of this class is to prepare you for the rigors of
university reading and writing. You will have to work hard. You will
have to read a lot. You will always be expected to write complete
sentences and complete paragraphs, just as you will be expected to
do in your university classes in the future.
1. On every assignment, on every scrap of paper I’ll ever see, including worksheets, write your first
and last name, the date, and the hour during which you have class. (Even if you are the only
Gertrude within 75 miles, I want to see your last name on everything. No matter how memorable
your personality, comments, work, or handwriting may be, put the date and hour on everything,
please.)
2. The assignment (description, page number, exercise, etc.) should be placed near the top of an
assignment.
3. Handwriting must be legible. WORD PROCESSING IS HIGHLY PREFERRED IN MOST CASES.
Pen is easier to read than pencil.
4. When homework is assigned, it is due at the beginning of the next class period, unless specified
otherwise. Do not expect to print once you get here.
5. To earn full credit, follow directions. Ask questions to clear up ambiguities.
6. I reserve the right to stop reading/grading/correcting any assignment that contains more than
three spelling errors or more than one major sentence error (fragment or run-on). If I do
stop, the assignment earns an F. In other words, PROOFREAD. If you have trouble with spelling,
ask me about strategies you can use to cope, including spellers, spell-checking, and proofreading
by peers. If fragments or run-ons are a problem, I will be happy to work with you on your
sentence writing. You just need to ask.
7. All essays and other major writing assignments must be word-processed unless otherwise
indicated. SAVE EVERYTHING. I highly recommend saving to the school’s server. If it goes
down, it’s not your problem. “Technical difficulties” is an invalid excuse for late work.
8. Always use MLA (Modern Language Association)
format. You may consult reliable websites or other
sources that explain MLA documentation. Here is a
place to start:
http://www.easybib.com/librarians
Download the MLA 7th Edition Guides (not the 5th
edition).
PROPER MANUSCRIPT FORM

word process

MLA format (heading, references,
works cited, etc.)

double space

“picture frame” (all 1” margins)

one side of paper

no title page necessary

traditional font no larger than 14
 PROOFREAD CAREFULLY
9. Don’t be afraid to ask me for assistance or advice,
ever. That’s my job! I try to be available for help
whenever you need it. If you give me enough notice,
we can always arrange a time to meet. The best
times to catch me are before or after school, or during a preparation period.
10. Check your grade online. If you have questions about your grade or if I’ve made a mistake in
entering grades, let me know ASAP.

By now you know . . .
AP ENGLISH IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER
HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLASSES
Class content:
 Less use of the chronological and historical approach to literature study
 More use of thematic and skill approaches to literature study
 Longer, more challenging research projects, with emphasis on literary analysis
 Focus on skill areas which directly relate to the kind of thinking and writing demanded by the national
AP exams, such as critical reading, timed writings, style analysis, and independent novel and drama
study
 Much more in-class writing
To succeed, AP students must:
 Read and interpret what they read very well
 Contribute to class discussions and be confident in expressing themselves
 Listen and participate in the thoughtful exchange of ideas
 Study and think before consulting and without relying on SparkNotes, internet summaries, and
other shortcuts
 Accept and offer constructive criticism
 Consider questions for which there may be no definitive answers
 Possess writing abilities which demonstrate control of mechanics, grammar, usage, organization,
diction, and syntax, and be willing to improve them
 Seek challenges and explore new concepts
 Possess a respect and regard for literature, composition, and learning
 Go beyond the minimum requirements of any assignment
The AP Lit student should emerge from high school having read widely enough and deeply
enough, and having written frequently enough, to be able to handle any text to a certain extent.
"Give me anything," you should say the morning of the exam. "An Elizabethan sonnet, an
avant-garde prose-poem, a soliloquy, a passage from a Hemingway story, a passage from the
Iliad, some crazy Joyce thing with no punctuation, Henry James, a contemporary satire, nonfiction, an obscure cutting from Shakespeare, whatever. Whatever you put in front of me, I'll be
able to read and understand to at least some extent, and I'll be able to write something
meaningful about it. Give it to me, whatever it is." The exam tests the degree to which you
have reached that sort of intellectual elasticity. If you have, you will be miles ahead of your
peers who do not take AP.
SUGGESTED SUPPLY LIST (**starred items** are REQUIRED)
**2 gig (minimum) flash drive**
Set of highlighters (at least three colors)
**Notebook or loose leaf paper for daily use**

 a handbook of literary terms
 good college dictionary
Note: These items
can usually be
obtained
inexpensively from
used bookstores.

AP English Term Paper
One term paper--specifically, a critical analysis of a novel--is due each of the
first three quarters. The first step is to read, annotate, and study a book from
the AP English reading list that is attached here. Books on the reading list are
not necessarily difficult to read, but they have been deemed to be of literary
merit. That is, experts have agreed that these works are important for a number
of reasons, including writing style and theme.
This critical analysis assignment (term paper) is quite detailed and will be explained
more fully within the coming weeks. You will be writing, essentially, a research paper
about the book you have read. So, not only will you need to read the book on your own, you will also have
to do research and write the paper by the deadline. In other words, START READING NOW! Any book
on the list below is eligible.
2011-12 TERM PAPER DUE DATES
Quarter 1:
October 26, 2011
Quarter 2:
January 4, 2012
Quarter 3:
March 21, 2012
