AP English Literature Performance Contract

Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition Performance Contract 2015-2016

The success in our AP English Language and Composition course depends on all of us meeting our responsibilities. This is a rigorous, college-level

course you are challenging yourself to conquer in high school. Though your decision is one I respect, it is also one I am requiring you to think

carefully about. This is a demanding course that can entail a considerable amount of time and effort. Please read and sign this performance

contract. It is also required that your parent/guardian do the same. I will need it returned to me May 21

at 7:40am and there will be a short

meeting following you turning this in.

I. As a student enrolled in AP English Literature and Composition, I agree to:

1. Complete all summer work as assigned.

2. Complete all assigned reading and writing by assigned due dates.

3. Understand that no late work is accepted.

4. Attend class punctually and regularly.

5. Follow requirements as set forth by the daily agenda.

6. Intellectually engage with material while seeking a better understanding of said material.

7. Fully participate in class discussions as both an active listener and an active speaker.

8. Respect a variety of viewpoints. No form of disrespect will be tolerated. This includes eye rolling, snickering and other forms of inappropriate

behavior.

9. Continually strive to improve my skills in writing, critical thinking and critical reading.

10. Ask for help when assistance is needed understanding assignments or successfully completing them.

11. Seek outside help if my performance falls below acceptable standards.

12. Understand that a portion of the class will be devoted to test preparation: it is not uncommon to be writing one in class essay per week.

13. Strive to take the AP English Literature and Composition exam in May 2016 and recognize that me sitting for the test is based on my

performance in the class.

14. Recognize that not meeting course requirements may result in my being dropped from the course at progress report time or at the nine-

week break.

15. Act in a mature manner appropriate for a college-level course.

16. Commit to academic integrity, accept that plagiarism will not be tolerated and has serious consequences.

17. Accept that an “A” in this course is not as easy to earn as an “A” in previous English courses, including honors. The rubrics used in this course

are College Board rubrics, which are rigorous and require critical and original thought to reach the “A” range.

18. Understand that there will be only one fieldtrip accepted/excused per 9-weeks. I will not sign off on any other fieldtrip, and you will not be

allowed to makeup work for any subsequent fieldtrips in that quarter.

than other courses.

3. Support my child to attend class punctually and regularly.
