i’m taking ap english language and composition this year (school starts in t h r e e days ahh!!!), so i figured i’d make a masterpost of resources and tips for my own reference + to help u guys out!

01 // advice people have given me:

take really good notes!!! you’re going to need them

read all required reading. do NOT use sparknotes or anything like that because you will miss all of the little details that are essential.

buy the barron’s prep book (it’s the best one)

learn to annotate properly because it’s another skill necessary for this class

take notes in a dialectical journal format like this one here 

02 // reading list for my school + online pdf of each book

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

hii you posted you are relearning latin, just from school book notes or are you also using other sources?

hi i use a mix of things! i use my notes and textbooks from school a lot, but i also use free online resources and try to read books in latin too

textbooks:

cambridge latin course books i-v (clc has free online resources if you can't buy them, here and here)

online resources / courses:

openlearn: getting started on classical latin

openlearn: continuing classical latin

openlearn: discovering ancient greek and latin

openlearn: introducing classical latin (i only use this one for pronunciation reminders)

national archives: medieval latin

misc:

list of modern books with latin translations

there are probably lots of other ways to learn it and other free resources, but this is what i use. hope this helps!

A very tiresome academic read, and a book I keep by my side for when I can't take it anymore.

yes fantasizing about your crush is fun, yes scrolling through your phone is fun. But do you know what actual fun is ? It is getting the grades you want, it is getting the university you can't stop dreaming about, it is getting the course you put hours working on. And the only way to get them is by studying hard. No you don't have to be extreme and lost sleep, all you need is dedication and discipline. So get the fuck up and start working for it.

Arranged for your studying pleasure, Charles Bernstein’s POEM PROFILER. Got a poem to study and it’s just too opaque? Found a poem you love and want to write something similar? Want to analyse your own work? The POEM PROFILER is for you!
