AP is a College Course

� This is NOT a college prep class.

� It is not a junior-college class.

� This class is intended to be used as credittoward graduation at a major four-year

university.

� Credit is awarded based on the APexamination given in May.

� You will prepare for the AP exam.



AP or Humanities?

� Core curriculum (Strayer text) is identical.

� Humanities will give greater emphasis to

literature in conjunction with English.� The workload may vary from week to week

(Gillespie may assign 10 more pages than

us or the reverse)

� The core curriculum tests and quizzes are

identical.



NOT your older sibling¶s

Humanities� AP drives the scope and sequence.

� We DO NOT have the time for the sort of activities that happened in Humanities inprevious years.

� Mrs. Bates and Mr. G are working to alignliterature with history and create a course

that is both engaging and meaningful. Butthey will not be having class together atthe same time.
