AP Language and Composition (Period 6)

AP Language and Composition is an opportunity to receive a college experience in high school. In this course you will read a variety of textual forms, with an emphasis on nonfiction, and write in response to these pieces in an in-depth, thoughtful manner. Rhetorical analysis, research synthesis and evaluation of authors’ arguments are important components of this course. Class discussion and group collaboration will be used to share ideas and, therefore, your individual participation is imperative to making this class work. We will consistently practice critical reading and thinking as well as analytical writing. The course culminates with the May AP test, which gives you the opportunity to earn college credits or to be placed out of college classes.
