Welcome to Advanced Placement English Language and Composition. This class uses a syllabus audited and approved by The College Board, which defines the course in its //English Course Description// in the following way: "An AP course in English Language and Composition engages students in becoming skilled readers of prose written in a variety of rhetorical contexts, and in becoming skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience expectations, and subjects, as well as the way genre conventions and the resources of language contribute to effectiveness in writing" (7). It is important to note that while we will read some fiction, this course focuses on non-fiction of literary merit, what John McPhee calls "literature of fact" (//English Course Description// 10). Please refer to the Class Documents page to view the class syllabus, calendar, and procedures. Extra help is on Mondays after school.
