AP English Language and Composition
This course is designed to assist junior and senior students to prepare, develop, and exercise the critical thinking, reading, and writing skills that will be required of them in college composition classes. The class may be considered the equivalent to a yearlong college writing course and so is aligned along the expected outcomes approved by the Council of Writing Program Administrators in 2000. Students’ utmost commitment will be required to succeed in this class. But our goal will be to foster an environment of collaboration within which we will read challenging texts and explore issues of identity, worldview, political speech, media, culture, and more through writing.
