      good

      It is very helpful in setting up thematic units for your course and there are multiple texts and authors mentioned.

      It was good.

    4. HEATHER – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      Very informative

    5. Sherry – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

      I enjoyed learning how I can implement these writing strategies in my classroom.

    6. Kristi – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

      She explains a good way to restructure a traditional AP course with ongoing themes.

    7. Meredith – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

      This course is outdated. I have taught AP Lang since 2017 and many of the core concepts she is teaching/taught are no longer widely promoted in the AP Lang teaching community. I am not sure when this video was recorded, but I’m assuming during Obama’s presidency. The College Board re-vamped the course in 2019, so y’all need to update this course to be in alignment with the new course structure.

    8. Derek – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

      Very informative and engaging

    9. SANDRA J – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

      Great ideas to use to challenge students.

    10. Jakeia – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

      Great
