Advanced Language & Literature
For Honors and Pre-AP® English CoursesFirst Edition| ©2016 Renee H. Shea; John Golden; Lance Balla
Prepares 10th grade and pre-AP® students for future success in AP® English classes.
AP® teachers know the roots of AP® success are established in the earlier grades. That is the idea behind Advanced Language & Literature—a complete solution for 10th grade honors and Pre-AP® English classes. Driven by the expertise of Renee Shea, John Golden, and Lance Balla, this introduction to literature and nonfiction, reading and writing, analysis and argument, is both challenging and nurturing; a book full of big ideas, thought-provoking texts, and all of the support young minds need to be prepared for AP® success.
Features
Renee Shea, John Golden, and Lance Balla believe that big ideas are the heart and soul of every good English class. The resulting textbook’s thematic organization allows students to think critically about enduring questions and tackle essential issues. Each thematic chapter is built around a provocative Central Text by a world-renowned author, which is followed by two clusters of texts—one on a literary theme and one on an argument topic. These text clusters include pieces at various reading levels for easy differentiation while keeping all students engaged in the same conversation, juggling multiple ideas, and reconciling diverse perspectives
New to This Edition
This book takes care of just about everything. I think it is a rich resource and it will provide a ready-made curriculum for the course. It organizes and illustrates a broad array of texts and focuses on skills and habits of mind.
-Claudette Brassil, Mt. Ararat High School, MEWhen I read this, its as through Im looking at an ideal way of thinking about the way to choose balanced selections for any unit. There is a balance of classic to contemporary pieces, a balance of voices, and certainly the inclusion of all the visual pieces, as well as the speeches and non-fiction make this a prize!
-Sarah Brown Wessling, Johnston HS, IAThe text offers a harmonious balance between objectives of the two APⓇ courses. The range of fresh material is outstanding, and I think APⓇ teachers will be happy to see the level of sophistication in both text and skills that the Pre-APⓇ students will experience.
-Ann Jackson, Crosby HS, TXComprehensive, thoughtful, challenging, but with an eye toward engaging students through relevant themes and readings.
-Debbie Harrison, Kimberly HS, WIIm impressed with the depth and quality of the text. Its not easy to provide work for Pre-APⓇ English students at the 10th grade that is challenging as well as interesting. The topics covered are of interest to this age group. Also, the book balances between preparing students for both APⓇ Lang and APⓇ Lit, a difficult balancing act.
-Christine Palmer, Air Academy HS, COThe most compelling part of the book is the balance: classic and contemporary selections included, many world cultures represented, APⓇ Language and APⓇ Literature supported, and reading and writing strategies.
-Elizabeth Davis, Westwood HS, TXI thought that the themes would be something that I would not use, but I take it back after seeing the actual readings. I think that I would use the whole book.
-Theresa Neman, Oak Ridge HS, TXBecause I am a huge proponent of inquiry-based instruction, I would say this books biggest strength is that it incorporates this method of learning. A second strength would be that this book uses both familiar and new texts and authors to balance the skills between addressing needs for both literature and language. I especially like that these skills are grouped in the two conversations, preceded and followed by the Reader and Writers Workshops. Brilliant structure!
-Tracy Scholz, Alief ISD, TXThe materials are varied, and world literature is well-covered. The authors have considered what students will need to be prepared for APⓇ Lit/Lang classes. There is a good selection of non-fiction, as well as fiction and poetry.
-Penny Crofford, Ernest Childers MS, OK
