AP English Language and Composition is a course designed to teach the content of a college freshman level rhetoric and composition class. Our focus is on building close reading skills with both fiction and nonfiction reading passages, analyzing short passages as well as full length major works for an author's overall purpose and writing critically about those passages.  Additionally, students in this course will study the art of argumentation, responding to arguments and also writing original arguments by generating their own evidence and incorporating evidence from their reading.  While our main goal for the course is to build student knowledge and skills for effective communication, we are also focused on preparing them for the rigorous demands of college-level reading and writing.  Major works of study include Unbroken, The Crucible, The Great Gatsby, and The Poisonwood Bible.  At the end of the course, students are highly encouraged to take the College Board AP English Language and Composition exam.
