AP English Language and Composition
Juniors in AP Language and Composition class are challenged to engage as readers, writers, speakers, and problem solvers in their world. The AP English Language and Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level rhetoric and writing curriculum, which requires students to develop evidence-based analytic and argumentative essays that proceed through several stages or drafts. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Throughout the course, students develop a personal style by making appropriate grammatical choices. Additionally, students read and analyze the rhetorical elements and their effects in non-fiction texts, including graphic images as forms of text, from many disciplines and historical periods. Over the course of the year, students uncover and polish their own powers of communication through discussion and debate, building vocabulary, and engaging in an intensive speaking, writing, and revision process.
