AP English Language and Composition
Advanced Placement Language and Composition is a rigorous year-long elective class offered to juniors and seniors. This course provides a challenging environment for the advanced student who strives to go beyond competence to mastery. The focus of the class—as specified by the College Board—is on rhetoric (“the art of crafting effective texts for specific audiences” ) and style (“the unique adaptation of language to ideas”). Its purpose is twofold: to prepare students for any and all writing they will encounter in the academic and professional environments, and to prepare them for the AP Language exam in the spring. In general, readings are non-fiction. Students apply their understanding of concepts through analysis of others’ writing and through production of their own exploratory and formal compositions.
