I took her English 3H/IB HL 1 class and it was the best and coolest English class I’ve ever taken. Unlike English 1H and 2H at DBHS, the main focus of the class is perception and viewing literature at different angles/view points. I have to admit the workload for first semester is a lot more compared to 1H or 2H but second semester has very minimal work. However the topics taught in the first semester is crucial to be successful for the second semester. If you are an IB student, you will have to do extra work but she is very lenient with deadlines. Overall the class was very fast paced and lots of reading but if you just turn in your work, A should be no problem.
Focus on key events and general topics that will be conveyed on the AP Exam (aka evolution of treatment and roles of women). Ask a lot of questions and participate in the group discussions and projects. They will ultimately really help with preparing for the AP Exam. Also, do NOT wait till the last minute to study for the AP test. Make sure to manage your time well because the workload is a bit high, but maybe average for an AP class.
