Tenth grade students taking Seminar, AP will receive a graduation credit for English 10. Seminar, AP is a foundational course that engages students in cross-curricular conversations that explore the complexities of academic and real-world topics and issues by analyzing divergent perspectives. Students develop skills such as analytical reading and writing, research, collaboration, presentation, and time management by exploring topics and themes of interest. Using an inquiry framework, students practice reading and analyzing articles, research studies, and foundational literary and philosophical texts; listening to and viewing speeches, broadcasts, and personal accounts; and experiencing artistic works and performances. Students learn to synthesize information from multiple sources, develop their own perspectives in research-based written essays, and design and deliver oral and visual presentations, both individually and as part of a team. Students will learn to analyze and evaluate information with accuracy and precision and craft and communicate evidence-based arguments.
