You have reached the course website for all sections of AP College English, taught by Ginger Brent , Glynis Kinnan, Brendan Lee, Dove Heider, and Bernie Heidkamp.
Below you will find a list of all assignments (due on the day they are listed), and when applicable, you will find downloadable links to assignment sheets or other materials that were distributed in class (in case your dog ate it or whatever).
We will try to keep the schedule as current as possible. Be aware, however, that each teacher may vary the schedule slightly and that the final word on assignments is always what is said or discussed in class.
