This study examines the effectiveness of the author's implementation of a unit on poetry in a class of 12th grade Advanced Placement (AP) Literature and Composition. Situated in the educational dilemmas of assessment and accountability in the teaching of English Literature within the context of a student teaching experience, the study employs analysis of student learning gains through pre- and posttests, as well as other student work. A narrative of the author's experience and growth as a teacher is examined and suggestions are offered for teachers of AP Literature classes. / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Middle and Secondary Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Summer Semester, 2004. / June 11, 2004. / Action research in education, Secondary education, Poetry instruction, Teacher self-evaluation, Advanced placement programs (education), Field study (education), Internships (education), Student teacher training / Includes bibliographical references. / Susan Nelson Wood, Professor Directing Thesis; Pamela Carroll, Committee Member; Joseph McElrath, Committee Member.
