AP English Language & Composition
As specified by the College Board, the focus of this course is on rhetoric and style. Rhetoric is defined as "the art of crafting effective texts for specific audiences," and style is defined as "the unique adaptation of language to ideas." American Literature and nonfiction texts will take center stage in studying language as a persuasive tool and the dynamic relationship of writer, context, audience, and argument. Evaluation is based on essays, in-class work, and timed writing assignments. Emphasis is on preparation for the AP English Language & Composition Exam.
