Why Take AP English... The Top Ten Reasons

1. Learning to actually write in a way that actually makes you seem smart. As an added bonus it improves your college essays making getting into the college of your choice easier.
2. Discovering how to face school after being up all night dealing with a twenty page Data Sheet that you foolishly put off until the last minute and who knows when you might need this skill later in life.
3. The Data Sheets themselves, there is nothing quite like the satisfaction of turning in twenty pages that says more about a book then you or anyone else ever wanted to know.
4. The knowledge that you survived a class with the toughest and most intimidating teacher in the school and you came out much smarter then you were going into it.
5. Read interesting books such as In Cold Blood.
6. Improve your standardized test scores in English.
7. Learn how to deal with very intimidating teachers. After Ms. Serensky any other teacher seems easy to approach.
8. Discover that you can make a lot out of very little when it comes to writing essays.
9. Find a way to speak out over everyone else to get your point across in group discussions.
10. Enjoy the thrill of overcoming one of the largest challenges you can face in high school once you survive two years of AP English.
