AP Language and Composition challenges students to become skilled readers of prose who understand the power of rhetoric, as well as skilled writers who can write for a variety of purposes. The primarily focus is on the reading of non-fiction texts from a wide range of time periods, styles, authors, and subjects, designed to prepare students for college level analysis and research in any subject area. This course also emphasizes the development within each student, not only of close reading strategies, but also effective writing and speaking skills. Students taking this course should anticipate a rigorous pace. Students should have the ability to read accurately from a range of genres, to discuss intelligently and listen carefully, to write with clarity, and to accept and offer criticism constructively.
AP English Language exam is administered on Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 at 8:00 am.
