Mrs. Carroll's AP English Language and Composition class works each year on a year long research project where students explored a theme of interest to them in literature. Hours of research and reading produced papers that develop and prove a thesis. Please email Mrs. Carroll at carrollb@cranfordschools.org if you would like further information on any topic.
