The College Board is committed to the principle that all students deserve an opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses. The Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access for AP courses to students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. Preparing Every Student for College Pre-AP is based on the following two important premises. The first is the expectation that all students can perform well at rigorous academic levels. This expectation should be reflected in curriculum and instruction throughout the school such that all students are consistently being challenged to expand their knowledge and skills to the next level. The second important premise of Pre-AP is the belief that we can prepare every student for higher intellectual engagement by starting the development of skills and acquisition of knowledge as early as possible. Addressed effectively, the middle and high school years can provide a powerful opportunity to help all students acquire the knowledge, concepts, and skills needed to engage in a higher level of learning. Labeling Courses Pre-AP The College Board does not officially endorse locally designed courses labeled "Pre-AP." Courses labeled "Pre-AP" that inappropriately restrict access to AP and other college-level work are inconsistent with the fundamental purpose of the Pre-AP initiatives of the College Board. The College Board strongly believes that all students should have access to preparation for AP and other challenging courses, and that Pre-AP teaching strategies should be reflected in all courses taken by students prior to their enrollment in AP. The College Board discourages using "Pre-AP" in the title of locally designed courses and listing these courses on a student's transcript, because there is no one fixed or mandated Pre-AP curriculum that students must take to prepare for AP and other challenging coursework. Rather than using Pre-AP in course titles, the College Board recommends the adoption of more comprehensive Pre-AP programs that work across grade levels and subject areas to prepare the full diversity of a school's student population for AP and college. CollegeBoard Access and Equity: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/program/initiatives/22794.html Pre-AP Programs http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/preap/index.html 1 About the Exam The three-hour and fifteen-minute exam usually consists of a one-hour multiple-choice section and a two-hour and fifteen-minute free-response section. Section I: Multiple-Choice The multiple-choice questions test your ability to read closely and analyze the rhetoric of prose passages. Total scores on the multiple-choice section are based on the number of questions answered correctly. Points are not deducted for incorrect answers and no points are awarded for unanswered questions. Section II: Free-Response After a fifteen-minute reading period, you'll write three essays to demonstrate your skill in composition. Free response questions require close reading, thoughtful rhetorical analysis, and purposeful argumentation, and include a synthesis question that tests your ability to effectively make an argument of your own by combining and citing several supplied sources, including at least one visual source. Scoring the Exam The multiple-choice section counts for 45 percent of your grade. The free-response section contributes the remaining 55 percent. Study Skills: Reading In an AP English course, you may feel you have never been given so much to read. AP English demands plenty of serious reading, and you might be tempted to "speed-read." You may try to scan paragraphs and pages as fast as you can while hunting for main ideas. In a word: Don't. First, main ideas usually aren't quickly accessible from "speed-reading" complex texts. Also, if you race through good writing, you are likely to miss the subtlety and complexity. A paragraph of text by Frederick Douglass or Joyce Carol Oates, a speech by Abraham Lincoln, or a letter by E. B. White cannot be appreciated—or even minimally understood—without careful, often-repeated readings. In reading your AP assignments, be sure to: Read slowly Reread complex and important sentences Ask yourself often, "What does this sentence, paragraph, speech, stanza, or chapter mean?" Make Your Reading EfficientHow can you balance the careful reading AP English requires with your demanding chemistry and calculus workloads, plus get in play practice, soccer games, and whatever else you've got on your busy schedule? We've compiled some helpful tips to make your AP reading more efficient, fun, and productive.

  • My Beloved Is a Bass Line: Musical, De-Colonial Interventions in Song Criticism and Sacred Erotic Discourse
    THE BIBLE & CRITICAL THEORY My Beloved is a Bass Line: Musical, De-colonial Interventions in Song Criticism and Sacred Erotic Discourse Heidi Epstein, University of Saskatchewan Abstract How might musical settings of the Song of Songs provide critical interventions in the politics of love? This case study builds a womanist intertextual matrix for the Song such that its amatory and horticultural language can be reinterpreted as irreducibly “de-colonial.” Reread through Chela Sandoval’s model of love, Alice Walker’s search for her foremothers’ and foresisters’ gardens, and Toni Morrison’s “commentary” on the Song (Beloved), the biblical text circulates de-colonial energies. And, given that music figures centrally in these womanists’ genealogies of love, a de-colonial reading of the Song mandates deconstruction of a subaltern musical archive within the Eurocentric discourse of sacred eroticism, a discourse that the Song sustains as an Ur-text. If the biblical female protagonist’s longing and seeking are reread as de-colonial and trickster-esque, she begets a subaltern musical family tree—audible today in the “Shulammitic” bass playing and protest singing of Meshell Ndegeocello. Key words Meshell Ndegeocello; Song of Songs; Bible and music; love; de-colonial theory; Toni Morrison; Alice Walker Introduction What meanings might be produced from the Song of Song’s amatory and horticultural language if it is read with a sense of love as irreducibly “de-colonial”? Some of these meanings shall emerge over the course of this article as I re-read the Song of Song’s imagery and its musicality in four phases through womanist intertexts by Chela Sandoval, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Meshell Ndegeocello.

  • The Forgiveness Behind I Can Only Imagine
    Hricko 1 Rose Hricko Dr. Cyrus Olsen Parables in Pop Culture, T/RS 228 22 May 2020 The Forgiveness Behind I Can Only Imagine I Can Only Imagine tells the unknown true story behind the band MercyMe’s quadruple platinum award winning song that would become and continue to be the most played song on Christian radio and number one best-selling Christian song of all time. Previously, the band had produced four Christian alternative rock albums, influenced by the grunge style of rock music at the time in the 1990s, but the band realized their original songs from these albums failed to connect to audiences while their covers of popular worship songs were much more popular. Because of this, MercyMe decided to write and produce an original album of worship songs.1 Needing one more song to complete the album, lead singer and songwriter of MercyMe, Bart Millard (J. Michael Finley), was inspired to write “I Can Only Imagine” basing it on his personal feelings surrounding his father’s death and the life story behind Bart’s need to forgive his father (Dennis Quaid) for being abusive towards Bart and his mother all his life. The song is about what Bart thinks his father is experiencing in heaven. Several themes arise and lessons that can be learned from the spirit of forgiveness that Bart embodies so he can let go of his painful past. I have found meaning in this movie as a parable through my life experiences, especially recently, in the moments when I realize I have to turn anger into a spirit of forgiveness and moving forward, letting go of people and situations that I do not have the power to change.

  • Galantis: Esce Oggi Il Nuovo Album "The Aviary"
    VENERDì 15 SETTEMBRE 2017 I Galantis fanno coppia con Rozes nel loro nuovo singolo "Girls on Boys", che accompagna l'uscita del secondo album "The Aviary". Galantis: esce oggi il nuovo album I Galantis dicono di Girls On Boys: "E' un tipo di canzone e di scrittura che "The Aviary" è sempre stata parte dei Galantis sin dall'inizio ma che non avevamo ancora avuto modo di mostrare. Ad essere onesti su questa canzone abbiamo avuto le nostre battaglie dovendoci spingere oltre e arrivando a condividere quello che per noi è un grande risultato." Rozes aggiunge: "L'atmosfera positive della canzone nasconde la vena CRISTIAN PEDRAZZINI scura dei testi che raccontano del fatto che i soldi , i diamanti e lo champagne non colmeranno mai il vuoto di quando ti senti solo e ti manca la persona che ami ".
