AP® ENGLISH LITERATURE & COMPOSITION

Course Length: Yearlong

Credit: 1.0

Grades: 11-12

Prerequisite(s): None

Description:   AP English Literature and Composition provides students with the opportunity to read and write critically. The course is structured into units, based on the College Board guide. Students will closely examine big ideas such as: rhetorical situation, claims and evidence, reasoning and organization and style. They will read a variety of non-fiction writings, including scientific, sociological, philosophical, and narrative texts. The students will read, annotate, and write synthesis essays (using several primary sources), as well as argument and rhetorical analysis essays. Students will work through the writing process using peer review and teacher feedback to complete several drafts of their work. This course is designed to be equivalent of a one-semester introductory college–or university-level survey course. This course meets guidelines outlined in the College Board’s AP.
