Course Catalog

The AP English Language and Composition course aligns to an introductory college­ level rhetoric and writing curriculum, which requires students to develop evidence-­based analytic and argumentative essays that proceed through several stages or drafts. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Throughout the course, students develop a personal style by making appropriate grammatical choices. Additionally, students read and analyze the rhetorical elements and their effects in non­fiction texts, including graphic images as forms of text, from many disciplines and historical periods.
