Course Information
In two years, you will begin leading a life outside the structures and the vicissitudes of high school. The support you have had (teachers calmly explaining “the meaning” of texts, well-meaning adults telling you that you should read more, well-read people handing out endless book and media recommendations) will be replaced by the freedom to think, write, read, and feel for your own.
We are here to give you the tools to do so successfully.
The AP English Language and Composition course is designed to help students become analytical, rhetorical readers and writers. Students in this course are taught to read critically by focusing their attention on the choices that authors make in relation to social context(s), audience(s), and purpose(s). Most texts used throughout the year will be nonfiction and will come from a variety of formal and informal sources and genres (e.g., academic journals, advertisements, speeches, letters, political cartoons, essays, charts and graphs, etc.). In conjunction with reading and analyzing texts of such variety, students will also be required to produce formal and informal writings of the same sort; consequently, the course helps students become skilled, rhetorical writers who compose for a variety of purposes within a variety of contexts. Students learn to write while making their own choices that pay strict attention to social context(s), target audience(s), rhetorical mode(s), and overall purpose(s).
Students who take the AP exam in May and earn a qualifying score of three (3) or better on the AP exam may earn college credit.
Students who opt out of taking the AP exam in May will be given a mock exam in class on the exam date, with results of the mock exam going into the gradebook as an assessment.
