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.
