I think this course is a great overview if you are needing new ideas for AP Lang.

This course was a fantastic example of practical techniques teachers can use immediately in their classrooms. I enjoyed her anecdotes and descriptions of how she used each technique in her classroom and the results from using them. Every English teacher (especially high school) should take Dr. Schaeffer’s course!
