If there’s one thing you need to know to earn a high score on the AP English Literature Exam, it’s literary term analysis. This is because literary term analysis is part of all sections of the Exam—especially the Free Response Essays.

This course features the Four-Step Framework, a concrete, four-step process that—when used—gets students a 4 or 5 on the AP Exam. Taught by a former AP English teacher who attended Wesleyan University, the University of Chicago and Oxford University, this course features literary terms commonly seen on the AP Exam and shows how to stop writing plot summary and how to start writing high-quality analysis.

In addition to the short, high-impact lectures, this course includes:

• Comprehensive supplemental resources for the literary time periods most used in the APExam (downloadable in the Lecture 1 "Resources"folder)

• Strategies on how to read poems resourcefully so you can answer poetry-related questions and essay prompts easily

• A complete list of 100+literary terms, along with their definitions (downloadable in the Lecture 1 "Resources"folder)
