Why AP English?

10. To overcome the fear of a graded discussion.  Sophomore year English classes try it out a couple of times but you will not understand a true graded discussion until you get to AP English.  Frightening at first but you become accustomed to them and learn to actually learn enjoy them.
9.  Eleventh grade final exam.  Reading a choice book and creating a movie about it is extremely enjoyable.  While other classes review and study for a final, you will instead enjoy your time making absurd videos.
8.  Receiving a sticker.  Getting a paper passed back and seeing a sticker on it is one of the best feelings.  You know that you worked one hundred percent for it and deserve it.
7.  The multiple choice game.  A fun and competitive day where your group works together to win extra credit points.  You will develop extreme hatred for some people during it but it only adds to the fun.
6.  Quote sheets.  You will look forward to them at the end of every quarter.  Usually the quotes capture the students’ stupidity but they are hilarious.  
5. Data sheets.  I hate to say it but completing a data sheet is a reason in itself to take AP English.  The feeling of accomplishment when turning them in makes it worth it.  Then when it comes time for the AP test seeing that there is a point to them and all the hard work was worth it.
4.  You enjoy writing essays and shouting out random quotes.
3.   It consumes people’s lives.  People who do not take AP English state that it is like a cult.  We constantly talk about it and think about it all the time.  You do not want to be on the outside of the elite cult. 
2.  You become smarter.  It happens.
