The College Board’s Equity and Access Policy Statement
The College Board strongly encourages educators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs by giving all willing and academically prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP. We encourage the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved. Schools should make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. The College Board also believes that all students should have access to academically challenging course work before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success. It is only through a commitment to equitable preparation and access that true equity and excellence can be achieved.

Schools of Criticism
Professional Discussion: If all students are reading the same novel, organize students by profession. Consider careers such as detective, psychologist, scientist, journalist, financial consultant, lawyer, doctor, housekeeper, or novelist. You may want to include a novelist, poet, or character with whom the students are familiar. Pose questions to the groups such as 1. What is the protagonist's biggest problem? 2. Why is the protagonist attracted to another character? 3. Why is the protagonist angry or annoyed with another character? 4. Will the protagonist achieve his or her goal by the end of the novel? Why or why not? After the students have discussed three or four questions, organize students in groups where each profession is represented: one detective, one psychologist, one scientist, etc. Discuss questions again. End class with a whole group discussion/debate. If students are reading different titles (in lit circles), organize students by novel. Then assign a profession to each member in the group. Discuss questions. Next, organize the students by profession so that all the lawyers are in one group and all the psychologists are in one group. Each novel should be represented in the group if possible. Discuss questions again. Whole group share before leaving.

Steps to Organizing Your Independent Reading Unit
- Select a few books you know well. Group by theme or genre.
- Divide book up into 4 parts.
- Introduce novels a week or two before students need to make a choice. Sell the novel. Use First Pages Exercise to write themes before students have to make a selection.
- Provide a focus for annotations by picking Question 3 prompts you might use for the exam.
- Schedule reading quizzes, verbal COWs, written COWs, silent reading days, and discussion days.
- Final Assessment: Use Question 3 Prompts from AP English Literature Exam.
- Use AP Rubric to score essays.
- Plan a debriefing day after essays are scored.
