Pre-AP English 2 Practice Test & PDF Worksheets

English 2 builds on the foundation of the English 1 course, with an emphasis on the recursive moves that matter in preparing students for the challenges of college-level reading, writing, and discussion. As readers, students develop a vigilant awareness of how the poet, playwright, novelist, and writer of nonfiction alike can masterfully manipulate language to serve their unique purposes. As writers, students compose more nuanced analytical essays without losing sight of the importance of well-crafted sentences and a sense of cohesion.
