Teacher, tutor, and classroom guidance

Classroom Use Policy

AP English Exam Prep is designed to support students, teachers, tutors, and families preparing for AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature and Composition. This policy explains how classroom users may link to, reference, and responsibly use site resources.

The short version: teachers and tutors are welcome to link to public pages for educational use, but full-page copying, republishing, selling, or repackaging site content requires permission.

How teachers and tutors may use AP English Exam Prep

Teachers, tutors, counselors, and school staff may share links to publicly available AP English Exam Prep pages for student review, class discussion, tutoring sessions, LMS modules, newsletters, study plans, and exam-prep support. Linking to the original page is the preferred classroom use.

Full-page copying, bulk downloading, uploading entire pages into Canvas or Google Classroom, turning site content into paid worksheets, republishing content on another website, or presenting AP English Exam Prep content as your own requires written permission.

What this Classroom Use Policy covers

Classroom uses that are generally allowed

The site is built to be useful in real AP English classrooms, tutoring sessions, review periods, and student study routines.

Share direct links

Teachers may post links to AP English Exam Prep pages in class websites, LMS modules, newsletters, email updates, and student study plans.

Use as class reference

Teachers may open a public page during class discussion and use it as a reference for AP Lang, AP Lit, essay strategy, or exam review.

Assign for review

Students may be directed to read a page before practice, after a mock exam, or during review as long as academic integrity expectations are clear.

Allowed Use Example Best Practice
Linking in Canvas or Google Classroom Posting a link to a thesis-pattern guide in an assignment module. Use the original URL and identify the source as AP English Exam Prep.
Class discussion Projecting a public page while explaining line of reasoning. Use the page as a reference while students create their own work.
Student review Assigning a practice-question page after a multiple-choice review session. Clarify whether students may use the page during or only after practice.
Tutoring reference A tutor sends a student a link to an AP Lang rhetorical analysis resource. Link to the original page instead of copying the content into a paid packet.
Professional sharing Sharing a link with another AP English teacher. Share the URL and avoid copying substantial content into private files.

Uses that are not allowed without written permission

AP English Exam Prep supports classroom use, but site content may not be copied, republished, sold, or repackaged in a way that replaces the original site.

Do not copy full pages

Do not paste full AP English Exam Prep pages into handouts, slide decks, PDFs, LMS modules, shared drives, commercial materials, or other websites without permission.

  • Do not remove branding or attribution.
  • Do not copy full guide sections into a worksheet packet.
  • Do not upload complete page text as course content.

Do not sell or repackage

Do not turn site content into paid tutoring packets, test-prep products, course modules, answer keys, subscription resources, or downloadable files without permission.

  • Do not present site frameworks as proprietary materials.
  • Do not resell copied explanations.
  • Do not create derivative commercial products from substantial site content.

Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoology, and LMS use

Teachers may use AP English Exam Prep links inside classroom platforms, but the difference between linking and copying matters.

LMS Action Policy Status Why
Posting a link to a public AP English Exam Prep page Allowed Students access the original page with context, branding, updates, and related resources intact.
Embedding a short quoted excerpt with attribution Usually acceptable for limited classroom discussion Small excerpts can support instruction when the source is credited and the original page is linked.
Pasting an entire page into Canvas as a module page Not allowed without permission This copies and republishes the site content outside the original page.
Uploading a PDF made from a full AP English Exam Prep page Not allowed without permission This creates a redistributed copy that can become outdated and disconnected from the source.
Using a link as part of a teacher-created assignment Allowed The teacher creates the assignment while AP English Exam Prep remains the linked reference.

Best LMS practice

Use the page title, a short teacher-written instruction, and the direct AP English Exam Prep URL. This gives students a clean path to the original resource and keeps attribution clear.

How to use short excerpts responsibly

Short excerpts may be useful for classroom discussion, but they should be limited, attributed, and linked back to the original source.

Recommended attribution

Source: AP English Exam Prep, https://www.apenglishexamprep.com/

If you quote a short passage from the site for a lesson, slide, classroom prompt, or discussion question, include the site name and the original page URL when practical.

Short excerpts should not replace the original page, and they should not be combined into large copied packets, answer keys, or redistributable course files.

Keep It Short Use only the amount needed for discussion or reference.
Credit Source Name AP English Exam Prep and link the original page.
Add Teacher Work Build your own questions, prompts, or activity around the excerpt.
Do Not Repackage Avoid turning excerpts into copied packets or paid materials.

Classroom use should protect student originality

AP English Exam Prep should help students learn how to think, read, write, and revise. It should not be used to replace student work.

Students should write their own work

Students should not copy site wording, thesis patterns, commentary, or essay structures and submit them as original assignments.

Teachers should define allowed support

Assignments should clarify whether students may use outside resources before writing, during drafting, during revision, or only after submission.

Resources should build skill

Site pages should be used to improve understanding, not to bypass assigned reading, writing, annotation, or analysis.
