Overall, this seems to be a great resource for an Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition. The program would cover a wide variety of skills needed from these students to perform at their best for their Advanced Placement Test at the end of the year. It provides great resources for videos, readings, and writing activities. This would be an excellent resource for students and teachers to help them achieve their goals of learning at a higher level. It allows the teachers to give students specific lessons that will help them achieve mastery.

It is organized quite a bit like the Learning Management System, Canvas, which many students are using at the collegiate level. It allows the students to see the pace that they need to achieve in order to finish on time, as well as shows them the entire course work so they know what they are covering and how long it should take them to achieve mastery. | ||||||
