AP Language and Composition (Period 2)

AP Language and Composition is a college level class in which students will read a variety of textual forms, with an emphasis on nonfiction, and write in response to these pieces in a high-level, thoughtful manner. Style analysis, rhetorical analysis and evaluation of authors’ arguments are important components of this course. There will also be creative and research-based writing opportunities. Analytical writing and critical reading are skills that will be emphasized. The course culminates with the May AP test in which students have the opportunity to earn college credits or to be placed out of college classes. This class is also an opportunity to receive a college experience in high school.
